    • Methods for reducing the number of pathologic antibody producing B cells in a patient suffering from an autoimmune disease by administration of an anti-germline antibody are described. Methods for removing pathologic antibodies and B cells and plasma cells producing pathologic antibodies from the body of a patient suffering from autoimmune disease are provided, comprising contacting the blood or plasma of the patient with an immunoadsorbent having specific binding for an epitope present on germline antibodies, particularly VH4-34 antibodies, wherein said contacting results in the reduction in the amount of germline antibodies present in the blood or bone marrow or lymphoid tissue of the patient or the amount of germline antibody producing B cells present in the blood, lymphoid tissues or bone marrow of the patient. Methods for treating a patient suffering from a B cell cancer expressing cell surface germline antibodies by similar methods are also provided. Methods for ex vivo purging bone marrow of pathologic antibody producing B-cells and cancerous B- cells expressing germline antibodies are provided. Methods for monitoring the efficacy of a therapeutic treatment in a patient suffering from an autoimmune disease or B cell cancer are also provided.
