Protein kinase Cδ is essential for the IgG response against T-cell-independent type 2 antigens and commensal bacteria

eLife, 2021
Antigens (Ags) with multivalent and repetitive structure elicit IgG production in a T-cell-independent manner. However, the mechanisms by which such T-cell-independent type-2 (TI-2) Ags induce IgG responses remain obscure.

TARM1 contributes to development of arthritis by activating dendritic cells through recognition of collagens

Nature Communications, 2021
TARM1 is a LILR family member that drives cell signalling via interactions with FcRγ. Here the authors show that TARM1 binds collagens to activate dendritic cells and thereby is an effector of inflammatory arthritis, plus provide a soluble TARM-Fc fusion
