Abstract excerpt
Available evidence indicates that B cell tolerance is attained by receptor editing, anergy, or clonal deletion. Here, we describe a p-azophenylarsonate (Ars)-specific immunoglobulin transgenic mouse in which B cells become anergic as a consequence of cross-reaction with autoantigen in the bone marrow. Developing bone marrow B cells show no evidence of receptor editing but transiently upregulate activation markers...
