Targeting soluble immunoglobulins ameliorates idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease in a mouse model

David C. Uhlfelder, David Andruszewski, Leon R Amelong, Helena S Schafer, Mia Huttenschmidt, Michaela Blanfeld, Carsten Schelmbauer, Zeynep Ergün, Aysan Poursadegh Zonouzi, Anne Hausen, S. Zimmer, Matthias M. Gaida, Saskia von Ungern-Sternberg, Kerstin Jurk, Frank Thomas Wunderlich, , Ilgiz A. Mufazalov

This paper develops a mouse model of idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease (iMCD) by targeting IL-6 to Foxp3+ Treg cells, showing that reducing soluble immunoglobulin production alleviates disease symptoms and improves survival.
