AbstractSimilar to other immune-mediated diseases, IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is the disease that develops in genetically susceptible individuals exposed to external or endogenous antigens. In the present study, it was confirmed that MAG (myelin-associated glycoprotein) antibodies (IgG, IgG4, and IgM) were detected by immunofluorescence (IFA) in serum of the patients with IgG4-RD.In vivo, the levels of prolactin and Th2 cytokines in CGRP+/−rats were higher than those in wild-type. Our findings indicate that the presence of CGRP-deficiency-mediated MAG antibodies is a probable molecular basis for the initial events which were triggered in IgG4-RD immune responses via prolactin upregulation.
