In MOG35–55-induced EAE, neutralization/elimination of BAFF has no effect on disease.
Elimination of APRIL or constitutive over-expression of BAFF also has no effect.
Eliminating BAFF has no effect in mice that maintain increased numbers of B cells.
Eliminating BAFF in B cell-deficient mice dramatically reduces disease.
This documents B cell-independent contribution of BAFF to an autoimmune disease.
