Abstract |
The significance of a unique inhibitory Fc receptor for IgG, FcγRIIB (RIIB), in the prevention of spontaneous production of autoantibodies remains controversial, due mainly to the fact that the RIIB locus is adjacent to the autoimmune-related SLAM locus harboring the genes coding for signaling lymphocyte activation molecules, making it difficult to isolate the effect of RIIB deletion from that of SLAM in gene-targeted mice. Our objective was to determine the influence of RIIB deletion on the spontaneous development of autoimmune diseases and to compare it with that of potentially pathogenic SLAM. |
