Abstract

CD22 is a B cell–specific transmembrane glycoprotein that acts to dampen signals generated through the B cell antigen receptor (BCR): B cells from CD22-deficient mice give increased Ca2+ fluxes on BCR ligation. Here we show that this B cell hyperresponsiveness correlates with the development of autoantibodies. After the age of eight months, CD22-deficient mice developed high titers of serum IgG directed against double-stranded DNA; these antibodies were of multiclonal origin, somatically mutated, and high affinity. Increased titers of antibodies to cardiolipin and myeloperoxidase were also noted. The results demonstrate that a single gene defect exclusive to B lymphocytes is, without additional contrivance, sufficient to trigger autoantibody development in a large proportion of aging animals. Thus, CD22 might have evolved specifically to regulate B cell triggering thresholds for the avoidance of autoimmunity.

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.
