The 1E03 immunoglobulin knock-in mouse produces B cells reactive to deamidated gluten peptides (DGP). The transfer of DGP-specific B cells and immunization with a DGP-cholera toxin conjugate led to the formation of DGP-reactive small-intestinal lamina propria plasma cells and serum antibodies. This model enables studies of plasma cells associated with celiac disease. ABSTRACT Celiac disease … Read more
