Using soluble IgM (sIgM) deficient mice (Ighm-/-), enabled us to rule out a major role for IgM in tissue damage control during sepsis, even though IgM was reported to exhibit anti-thrombotic functions in cardiovascular diseases (Binder et al., 2016) and high plasma IgM levels positively correlate with a better outcome in human sepsis (Krautz et al., 2018) and mouse models (Márquez-Velasco et al., 2007). Here, CD40LG is linked to Sepsis.
