摘要

Abstract The priming of T cells in the liver is widely accepted. Nonetheless, it is controversial whether immune activation in autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) occurs in the liver or in the spleen. To address this issue, we splenectomized mice and induced experimental murine AIH (emAIH) with an adenovirus (Ad)‐expressing formiminotransferase cyclodeaminase (FTCD). Post‐splenectomy, the experimental mice developed emAIH to a higher extent than the control mice. In addition, splenectomized mice harboured more intrahepatic B cells and a disproportionately small number of regulatory T cells (Tregs) within a reduced T cell population at the site of inflammation. These results imply that the spleen is not the site of AIH induction. In contrast, the spleen seems to have a protective function since the pathological score was more severe in splenectomized animals. These findings have important implications for the aetiology of AIH.
