Bcl-2 leads to expression of anti-DNA B cells but no nephritis: a model for a clinical subset
1 Oct 1999
Abstract excerpt
Transgenic mice expressing anti-DNA antibodies have been extensively studied as a model for understanding B cell regulation in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). BALB/c mice transgenic for the R4A-gamma2b heavy chain of an anti-double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) antibody produce two populations of high-affinity anti-dsDNA B cells, one deleted, and the other anergized. We generated double-transgenic BALB / c mice...
