Role of PIR‐B in Autoimmune Glomerulonephritis
Open accessAbstract
PIR‐B, an inhibitory receptor expressed on murine B cells and myeloid cells, regulates humoral and cellular immune responses via its constitutive binding to the ligand, MHC class I molecules, on the same cells (cis) or on different cells (trans). Although it has been speculated that PIR‐B is important for maintaining peripheral tolerance, PIR‐B single deficiency does not cause overt autoimmune diseases. Recently, however, the combination of its deficiency with the Fas lpr mutation was found to result in augmented production of autoantibodies such as IgG rheumatoid factor and anti‐DNA IgG, leading to glomerulonephritis in mice. Although the precise molecular mechanism for the overall scenario is unclear, PIR‐B was found to suppress TLR9‐mediated production of naturally autoreactive antibodies by innate B cells or B‐1 cells by inhibiting the activation of Bruton′s tyrosine kinase. Thus, PIR‐B is an important regulator of innate immunity mediated by TLR9 in B‐1 cells, which can otherwise provoke autoimmunity when overactivated.

LILRB proteins are type I transmembrane receptors predominantly expressed on hematopoietic cells.
“The LILRB proteins are type I transmembrane receptors predominantly expressed on hematopoietic cells14–20.”
From Oligomeric cystatin C supports the immunosuppressive activity of myeloid cells through interaction with inhibitory receptors (2025) · cites this paper as [16]
Section 2.1 identifies LILRB1 and LILRB2 as human receptors associated with B cells and myeloid-lineage cells, supporting their expression on hematopoietic cells. Section 2.2 describes PIR-B—not LILRB proteins—as a type I transmembrane receptor. The paper does not establish that LILRB proteins as a group have that structure or are predominantly expressed on hematopoietic cells. (LLM, conf=0.83)

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.
