The aim of this proposal is to test if anti-BAFF antibody can restore a normal threshold of tolerance in patients in two auto-immune diseases along the RITUX-PLUS study in immune thrombocytopenia, and along the Believe study in SLE. This work would help to conclude whether or not the 'double hit' therapy may help to reset the immune system toward a more tolerogenic profile.
The aim is to compare the polyreactivity and autoreactivity, of immature (central tolerance) and naïve B cells (peripheral tolerance) in the peripheral blood along the RITUX-PLUS STUDY and the BLISS BELIEVE study after treatment (B-cell reconstitution time).

Bliss-Believe
Patients included in the BLISS-BELIEVE study (NCT03312907).
|
Other: Bliss-Believe
The samples from the blood samples carried out within the framework of Bliss Believe will be collected for a biological collection. Only one sample of patients included in BLISS BELIEVE STUDY will be obtained during a standard of care visit. It will be 21ml of blood. |
