Abstract

The antigenic trigger that drives expansion of circulating plasmablasts and CD4+ cytotoxic T cells in patients with IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is presently unknown. We sought to sequence immunoglobulin genes from single-cell clones of dominantly expanded plasmablasts and generate recombinant human mAbs to identify relevant antigens in patients with IgG4-RD by using mass spectrometry. Paired heavy and light chain cDNAs from dominant plasmablast clones were expressed as mAbs and used to purify antigens by using immunoaffinity chromatography. Affinity-purified antigens were identified by using mass spectrometry and validated by means of ELISA. Plasma levels of the antigen of interest were also determined by using ELISA. mAbs expressed from the 2 dominant plasmablast clones of a patient with multiorgan IgG4-RD stained human pancreatic tissue sections. Galectin-3 was identified as the antigen specifically recognized by both mAbs. Anti-galectin-3 autoantibody responses were predominantly of the IgG4 isotype (28% of the IgG4-RD cohort, P = .0001) and IgE isotype (11% of the IgG4-RD cohort, P = .009). No significant responses were seen from the IgG1, IgG2, or IgG3 isotypes. IgG4 anti-galectin-3 autoantibodies correlated with increa...Continue Reading

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.

B cell Differentiation

Depending on the signal received through the B cell receptor and other receptors, B cells differentiate into follicular or marginal zone B cells. Here is the latest research pertaining to this differentiation process.
