Abstract excerpt
Recently we reported on a novel H2E transgenic, IA-negative model of experimental autoimmune thyroiditis (EAT) that excludes reactivity to self in its susceptibility pattern to heterologous thyroglobulin (Tg). In conventional, susceptible mouse strains, EAT is inducible with both homologous and heterologous Tg; e.g., human (h)Tg shares conserved thyroiditogenic epitopes with mouse (m)Tg. However, when an H2Ea(k)...
