Article Abstract
Unlike Fc receptors for switched immunoglobulin (Ig) isotypes, Fc receptor for IgM (FcµR) is selectively expressed by lymphocytes. The ablation of the FcµR gene in mice impairs B cell tolerance as evidenced by concomitant production of autoantibodies of IgM and IgG isotypes. In this essay, we reiterate the autoimmune phenotypes observed in mutant mice, ie IgM homeostasis, dysregulated humoral immune responses including autoantibodies, and Mott cell formation. We also propose the potential phenotypes in individuals with deficiency and the model for FcµR-mediated regulation of self-reactive B cells.

September 2025
Department of Pediatric Allergy and Clinical Immunology, Başakşehir Çam and Sakura City Hospital, Istanbul, Türkiye.
Purpose: We aimed to investigate allergic sensitization and associated factors in pediatric patients with selective immunoglobulin A deficiency (SIgAD) and to evaluate differences between allergic and nonallergic groups.
Methods: We analyzed 110 patients (aged 4-18 years) diagnosed with SIgAD at Çam and Sakura City Hospitals, Istanbul, between 2021 and 2024. Their demographic, clinical, and laboratory data were assessed.

Department of Animal Science, Faculty of Agriculture, Ondokuz Mayis University, Atakum, Samsun, Türkiye.
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of some environment- and animal-based factors, such as body condition score (BCS) on 15-20 days before parturition, parity, and calving season on colostrum dry matter (DM), fat, solids-nonfat (SNF), protein, and lactose contents as well as colostrum and calf's serum immunoglobulin (IgG, IgA, and IgM), IGF-1, and lactoferrin concentrations in buffaloes. Therefore, the components of colostrum (at the first milking) and calf serum samples (at 24-48 h and 28 days after birth) from 86 Anatolian buffalo cows were analyzed by an infrared milk analyzer and ELISA test. The high BCS enhanced colostrum DM, fat, and IgG content; calf serum IgG concentration at 24-48 h, and lactoferrin at 28 days compared to low BCS.

Rationale: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a life-support technology for refractory cardiac arrest, but the massive blood transfusions required during treatment significantly increase the risk of transfusion-related infections. Hepatitis E virus (HEV) - traditionally linked to fecal-oral transmission - is increasingly recognized as a transfusion-transmitted pathogen, especially in emergency settings where urgent blood product infusion is common and routine HEV screening in blood banks is often lacking. However, nursing strategies for managing acute HEV infection after ECMO remain poorly defined, highlighting the need to address this clinical gap.

Immunoglobulins (IGs) made by chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) B cells are unique in that they bind themselves (homo-dimerize). This interaction leads to signal transduction with functional consequences that depend on the affinity of homo-dimerization. We have studied the antigen-binding properties of the IGs from a subset of patients with CLL (Subset #4) that homo-dimerize at high affinity.

Background: In autoimmune disease it is not understood how self-reactive B cells escape immune tolerance checkpoints to produce pathogenic autoantibodies.
Objective: In patients with demyelinating polyneuropathy caused by IgM autoantibodies against myelin associated glycoprotein (MAG) and the sulphated trisaccharide CD57, we aimed to test the hypothesis that B cells making the autoantibody escaped tolerance by acquiring lymphoma driver somatic mutations.
Methods: Deep single-cell RNA, DNA, flow cytometric and antibody specificity analysis of blood from three patients with MAG neuropathy.
