Which effect results when regulatory T-cells fail to suppress self-reactive B-cells in bone marrow?

💡 Explanation

Autoantibody production occurs because regulatory T-cell deficiency results in a failure of central tolerance, thus allowing self-reactive B-cells to mature and produce autoantibodies. Therefore, autoimmunity occurs, rather than increased T-cell production due to thymus activity being unrelated.
