Innate immunity drives the initiation of a murine model of primary biliary cirrhosis. by Chao-Hsuan Chang, Ying-Chun Chen, Weici Zhang, Patrick S C Leung, M Eric Gershwin, Ya-Hui Chuang

“…Our earlier work suggested that iNKT cells were involved in the initiation of the original loss of tolerance in primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC). To address this issue in more detail and, in particular, to focus on whether iNKT cells activated by a Th2-biasing agonist (2s,3s,4r)-1-O-(α-D-galactopyranosyl)-N-tetracosanoyl-2-amino-1,3,4-nonanetriol (OCH), can influence the development of PBC in a xenobiotic-induced PBC murine model. …”
