Abstract

SUMMARY: To investigate the role of B cells in the development of CIA, a model for rheumatoid arthritis, we investigated susceptibility to CIA in mice lacking B cells due to the deletion of the IgM heavy chain gene (μMT). The μMT deletion was backcrossed into two different CIA-susceptible strains, B10.Q and B10.RIII. Two different variants of the CIA model are inducible in these strains: in B10.Q with rat type II collagen (CII) and in B10.RIII with bovine CII. Homozygous deletion of the IgM gene led to the absence of B cells and dramatically reduced immunoglobulin levels compared with wild-type mice. The deletion of IgM totally abrogated development of CIA in both strains, although the anti-CII T cell response did not differ between the μMT and wild-type controls. We conclude that B cells play a crucial role in the development of CIA.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
