Inhibition of immunoglobulin class-switching prevents pemphigus onset in desmoglein 3-specific B cell receptor knock-in mouse
2021-05-23
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Although immunoglobulin class-switching is essential for humoral immunity, its role in B-cell immune tolerance remains unclear. Pemphigus vulgaris is an autoimmune blistering disease caused by IgG targeting desmoglein 3, an adhesion molecule of keratinocytes. In this study, we generated knock-in mice that express anti-Dsg3 AK23 autoantibodies. Knock-in B cells developed normally in vivo and sho...
