Summary

This research study aims to understand how autoimmune diseases like lupus develop by comparing immune cells from people with autoimmune conditions, people with infectious diseases, and healthy individuals. Researchers will collect blood and sometimes bone marrow samples from 2,500 participants to analyze specific immune cells. The goal is to identify differences that might explain why the immune system sometimes attacks the body's own tissues.
