T cells mediate autoantibody-induced cutaneous inflammation and blistering in epidermolysis bullosa acquisita
2016
AbstractT cells are key players in autoimmune diseases by supporting the production of autoantibodies. However, their contribution to the effector phase of antibody-mediated autoimmune dermatoses, i.e., tissue injury and inflammation of the skin, has not been investigated. In this paper, we demonstrate that T cells amplify the development of autoantibody-induced tissue injury in a prototypical, organ-specific autoimmune disease, namely epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA) – characterized and caused by autoantibodies targeting type VII collagen. Specifically, we show that immune complex (IC)-induced inflammation depends on the presence of T cells – a process facilitated by T cell receptor (…
IgG Fc sialylation is regulated during the germinal center reaction following immunization with different adjuvants
2020
Background: Effector functions of IgG Abs are regulated by their Fc N-glycosylation pattern. IgG Fc glycans that lack galactose and terminal sialic acid residues correlate with the severity of inflammatory (auto)immune disorders and have also been linked to protection against viral infection and discussed in the context of vaccine-induced protection. In contrast, sialylated IgG Abs have shown immunosuppressive effects.Objective: We sought to investigate IgG glycosylation programming during the germinal center (GC) reaction following immunization of mice with a foreign protein antigen and different adjuvants.Methods: Mice were analyzed for GC T-cell, B-cell, and plasma cell responses, as wel…
