B cells drive neuropathic pain–related behaviors in mice through IgG–Fc gamma receptor signaling
Open accessAbstract
Neuroimmune interactions are essential for the development of neuropathic pain, yet the contributions of distinct immune cell populations have not been fully unraveled. Here, we demonstrate the critical role of B cells in promoting mechanical hypersensitivity (allodynia) after peripheral nerve injury in male and female mice. Depletion of B cells with a single injection of anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody at the time of injury prevented the development of allodynia. B cell–deficient (muMT) mice were similarly spared from allodynia. Nerve injury was associated with increased immunoglobulin G (IgG) accumulation in ipsilateral lumbar dorsal root ganglia (DRGs) and dorsal spinal cords. IgG was colocalized with sensory neurons and macrophages in DRGs and microglia in spinal cords. IgG also accumulated in DRG samples from human donors with chronic pain, colocalizing with a marker for macrophages and satellite glia. RNA sequencing revealed a B cell population in naive mouse and human DRGs. A B cell transcriptional signature was enriched in DRGs from human donors with neuropathic pain. Passive transfer of IgG from injured mice induced allodynia in injured muMT recipient mice. The pronociceptive effects of IgG are likely mediated through immune complexes interacting with Fc gamma receptors (FcγRs) expressed by sensory neurons, microglia, and macrophages, given that both mechanical allodynia and hyperexcitability of dissociated DRG neurons were abolished in nerve-injured FcγR-deficient mice. Consistently, the pronociceptive effects of IgG passive transfer were lost in FcγR-deficient mice. These data reveal that a B cell–IgG–FcγR axis is required for the development of neuropathic pain in mice.

IgG complexes can directly bind to peripheral somatosensory neurons to induce neuropathic pain through the B cell/IgG/Fc axis.

From Nociplastic pain: the prominent role of non-neuronal cells in central and peripheral sensitization (2026) · cites this paper as [105]
The Discussion reports IgG colocalization with neurons in mouse DRGs and says immune complexes may directly activate sensory neurons through Fcγ receptors. But it presents direct activation as a possibility, not an established mechanism, and explicitly says the study did not directly demonstrate that IgG forms complexes to induce allodynia. The cited passages provide no page numbers. (LLM, conf=0.89)

“IgG complexes binding to Fcγ receptors expressed on DRG neurons can evoke nociceptive activity in the absence of overt inflammation (105, 115).”
From Nociplastic pain: the prominent role of non-neuronal cells in central and peripheral sensitization (2026) · cites this paper as [105]
The Results section on Fcγ receptors and the pronociceptive effect of IgG (page not provided) reports that IgG, likely in immune complexes, induces allodynia through FcγRs after nerve injury. The Discussion says these complexes may directly activate DRG neurons, but does not establish direct neuronal activation or the claimed absence of overt inflammation; the passive-transfer results also found no allodynia in mice without nerve injury.

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.
