Lack of Galactosylation Enhances the Pathogenic Activity of IgG1 but Not IgG2a Anti-Erythrocyte Autoantibodies
Kiyoaki Ito,Jun-ichi Furukawa,Kazunori Yamada,Kazunori Yamada,Ngoc Lan Tran,Yasuro Shinohara,Shozo Izui +6 more
TL;DR: Analysis of in vivo complement activation and of the pathogenic activity in mice deficient in C3 or IgG FcRs excluded the implication of mannose-binding lectin-mediated complement activation in the enhanced pathogenic effect of agalactosylated IgG1 anti-erythrocyte autoantibodies.

TL;DR: This case indicates that recognizing pericardial complications in autoimmune pancreatitis is important and that CT imaging may be useful for obtaining the diagnosis and providing follow-up of pericARDial lesions in cases of IgG4-RD.
