Abstract excerpt
Immunoglobulins (Igs)-or antibodies (Ab)-are important to combat foreign pathogens but also to the immune system homeostasis. We developed the AID-/-μS-/- mouse model devoid of total soluble Igs and suitable to monitor the role of Igs on immune homeostasis. We used this experimental system to uncover a negative feedback control of marginal zone (MZ) and B1 B cells numbers by naturally secreted Igs. We raised...
