Functional IKK/NF-κB signaling in pancreatic stellate cells is essential to prevent autoimmune pancreatitis

A model of autoimmune pancreatitis is developed by blocking the activation of NF-κB in pancreatic stellate cells, via conditional deletion of NEMO (IKKγ), which presents strong pancreatic inflammation with eosinophilia after the induction of chronic pancreatitis by repeated caerulein challenges.
