IgG4-associated pancreatitis – difficulties of diagnostics and treatment by M. A. Cherepnin, E. V. Serova, S. I. Berdnikov, E. V. Chuprakov, Yu. B. Govorina

“…The prevailing etiological variant of the development of autoimmune pancreatitis remains the theory of lymphocyte activation under the influence of IgG4, which is normally one of the smallest immunoglobulins of class G, exhibiting both pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory activity. The inflammatory process caused by activated IgG4-positive leukocytes is characterized by the development of a diffuse or local process due to pronounced infiltration by lymphocytes and plasma cells, followed by their activation into fibroblasts and the formation of focal fibrosis. …”
