Follicular dendritic cells control engulfment of apoptotic bodies by secreting Mfge8

The secreted phosphatidylserine-binding protein milk fat globule epidermal growth factor 8 (Mfge8) mediates engulfment of apoptotic germinal center B cells by tingible-body macrophages (TBMφs). Impairment of this process can contribute to autoimmunity. We show that Mfge8 is identical to the mouse fo...
