Inhibition of immunoglobulin class-switching prevents pemphigus onset in desmoglein 3-specific B cell receptor knock-in mouse

H. Nomura, N. Wada, H. Takahashi, Y. Kase, J. Yamagami, S. Egami, H. Iriki, M. Mukai, A. Kamata, H. Ito, H. Fujii, T. Ishikura, H. Koseki, T. Watanabe, T. Yamada, , M. Amagai

This study shows that inhibiting immunoglobulin class-switching prevents pemphigus onset in mice, with FcγRIIB signaling attenuation contributing to disease.
