| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
LATY136F Knock-in mice (LAT mice), having a mutation in Tyr136 of the linker for activation of T cells, show accumulation of Th2 effector cells. IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a novel clinical disease entity characterized by elevated serum IgG4 concentration and tumefaction or tissue infiltration by IgG4 positive plasma cells. We examined lung lesion of LAT mice whether they became the model of IgG4-RD. Lung fibrosis score were significantly higher in Homo group than in Wild group and there were tissue infiltration by lymphocytes and IgG1 positive plasma cells around broncho-vascular bundles. In analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage, total cell count and percentage of lymphocyte increased in Homo group. The feature of lung lesion of LAT mice has a similar with them of IgG4-RD. We considered that they could be a model of IgG4-RD.
