Research Abstract

IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a disease characterized by systemic organ involvement, T- and B-cell infiltration of affected organs, and specific immunoglobulin class switching (mainly IgG4). In this study, we identified IL10+IL21+LAG3+Tfh cells involved in the specific class switching of IgG4-RD by single-cell gene expression analysis of T cells infiltrating affected organs with IgG4-RD. We also found that many of the class-switched B cells expressing AID also express high levels of IL10 and IL21 receptors.
