Abstract excerpt
Experimental autoimmune thyroiditis (EAT) is inducible in genetically susceptible mice by immunization with mouse thyroglobulin (mTg). With susceptibility linked to MHC class II, EAT is useful in studying human leukocyte antigen (HLA) associations with Hashimoto's thyroiditis. In non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice, approximately 10% thyroiditis incidence occurs with aging. This potential was exploited to examine the T...
