Notably, while IgA plasma cells in the bone marrow were almost exclusively of the IgA1 subclass, gut plasma cells showed an equal distribution between IgA1 and IgA2.

Collectively, our results suggest that systemic and gut IgA responses against bacteria originate from discrete anatomical sites with inductive sites in the upper aerodigestive tract likely playing a prominent role in generation of systemic IgA.

Our paper on the linguistics-based formalization of antibody language is out in @NatComputSci. Work led by @MaiSpaceHa Rahmad Akbar and @PRobertImmodels . Summary thread: x.com/PRobertImmodels/status….

📢 @maispaceha, @PRobertImmodels, @BartlomiejSwia4, @SandveGeir, @victorgreiff et al. explore the potential of linguistic formalization of antibody language to improve rule mining in deep LMs for antibody sequence analysis. nature.com/articles/s43588-0… ➡️rdcu.be/dKOdq

The selected B cells are the ones that can interact productively with gluten-specific T cells. This requires that the B cells bind active TG2, which can form complexes with gluten. Hence, only some epitopes are permissive, and these end up dominating the autoantibody response.

Collectively, our study highlights the role of efficient T cell-B cell collaboration in development of celiac disease and production of disease-specific autoantibodies.

Our paper on circulating autoreactive B cells in celiac disease is now out in @CellReports 🎉. Big thanks to everyone involved! cell.com/cell-reports/fullte…
Very happy to share this story on autoreactive B cells in celiac disease together with @IdaLindeman @LeneHoydahl @ChristophAsb @LouiseFRisnes @JCoDiRC. Here, we identify a population of circulating IgA-switched B cells specific to the self-antigen transglutaminase 2 (TG2).
