Overexpression of bovine FcRn in mice enhances T-dependent immune responses by amplifying T helper cell frequency and germinal center enlargement in the spleen
The neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) plays key roles in IgG and albumin homeostasis, maternal IgG transport and antigen presentation of IgG-opsonized antigens. Previously we reported that transgenic (Tg) mice that overexpress the bovine FcRn (bFcRn) have augmented T dependent humoral immune response with...
