Deficiency of the inhibitory FcgammaRIIB renders mice susceptible to autoimmune disorders characterized with cellular infiltration of target tissue. To analyze the role of FcgammaRIIB in an antibody-mediated autoimmune disease, experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis (EAMG), FcgammaRIIB knockout (KO) and wild-type mice were immunized with acetylcholine receptor (AChR). In contrast with previous reports,...
