Natural IgM prevents autoimmunity by enforcing B cell central tolerance induction

It is unclear why selective deficiency in secreted (s)IgM causes antibody-mediated autoimmunity. We demonstrate that sIgM is required for normal B cell development and selection. The CD5+ B cells that were previously shown to accumulate in body cavities of sIgM−/− mice are not B-1a cells, but CD19(i...
