Effect of the bm12 class II mutation on proliferative and cytokine responses of encephalitogenic T cells in myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG)-induced experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis.

Abstract excerpt

The bm12 mutation in the class II I-A(b)molecule can profoundly influence experimental autoimmune disease, enhancing the development of systemic lupus erythematosus-like syndromes in NZB.H-2(bm12)mice or, conversely, abolishing the susceptibility of C57BL/6J (H-2(b)) mice to the induction of experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis. We have studied the effect of this mutation on experimental autoimmune...
