Abstract

The survival of long-lived plasma cells, which produce most serum immunoglobulin, is central to humoral immunity. We found here that the inhibitory Fc receptor FcgammaRIIb was expressed on plasma cells and controlled their persistence in the bone marrow. Crosslinking FcgammaRIIb induced apoptosis of plasma cells, which we propose contributes to the control of their homeostasis and suggests a method for therapeutic deletion VSports手机版. Plasma cells from mice prone to systemic lupus erythematosus did not express FcgammaRIIb and were protected from apoptosis. Human plasmablasts expressed FcgammaRIIb and were killed by crosslinking, as were FcgammaRIIb-expressing myeloma cells. Our results suggest that FcgammaRIIb controls bone marrow plasma cell persistence and that defects in it may contribute to autoantibody production. .
