Anti-nuclear IgG autoantibodies

downin mice1

1 study
  1. ST8SIA6 decreases anti-nuclear IgG autoantibodies in mice (Shown by St8sia6 knockout).

    “aged St8sia6-/- mice exhibited increased activation markers on their B cells and displayed elevated levels of anti-nuclear IgG autoantibodies”

Germinal center B cell, age-induced B cell, and plasma cell populations

downin mice1

1 study
  1. ST8SIA6 decreases germinal center B cell, age-induced B cell, and plasma cell populations in mice (Shown by St8sia6 knockout).

    “In the study, 60-week-old St8sia6-/- mice showed enlarged populations of germinal center B cells, age-induced B cells, and plasma cells.”

IgG1 response

downin mice1

1 study
  1. ST8SIA6 decreases IgG1 response in mice (Shown by St8sia6 knockout following T cell-dependent immunization).

    “Additionally, an increased IgG1 response was observed upon T cell-dependent immunization.”

B cell proliferation

downin mice1

1 study
  1. ST8SIA6 decreases B cell proliferation in mice (Shown by St8sia6 knockout under T cell-dependent stimulation).

    “However, in St8sia6-/- B cells, a stronger proliferation was induced by T cell-dependent stimuli.”
