Key Words Ulcerative colitis; Appendix; Appendectomy; Autoantibody; Immunoglobulin G
Core Tip The appendix is a potential source of pathogenic immunoglobulin G (IgG)-producing cells in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). Appendectomy significantly reduced IgG-positive cells in the large intestine of patients with UC. Appendectomy may alleviate UC symptoms by limiting the number of pathogenic IgG-secreting cells.
