CA2 and Autoimmunity: Hypergammaglobulinemia and the existence of disease-related autoantibodies (for example, those against lactoferrin [15], carbonic anhydrase II (CAII) [16], amylase-alpha 2A [17], pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor (PSTI) [18], and plasminogen-binding protein peptide [19]) support the hypothesis that autoimmunity may participate in the pathogenesis of IgG4-RD.
