Abstract
Patients with autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) characteristically show elevated serum levels of immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) and abundant infiltration of IgG4-positive plasmacytes in the involved organs. The most common involved organ showing extrapancreatic lesions is the bile duct, which exhibits sclerosing cholangitis (SC). However, the role of IgG4 in the development of IgG4-related SC (IgG4-SC) remains unclear. To clarify the role of IgG4 in...
