How do B cells mechanistically orchestrate tolerance to AQP4 and prevent autoimmunity in healthy individuals?

The title suggests B cells actively maintain tolerance to AQP4, but the specific molecular mechanisms by which B cells prevent anti-AQP4 autoimmunity are not detailed. Understanding this tolerance mechanism is critical for developing targeted therapies for neuromyelitis optica.
