Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To assess the effects of altered class II major histocompatibility complex (MHCII) expression on circulating autoantibody levels in C57BL/6 (B6) mice congenic for the Sle1 (B6.Sle1 mice) or Nba2 (B6.Nba2 mice) regions. METHODS: H-2Ab(+/+) (MHCII-intact), H-2Ab(+/-) (MHCII-intermediate), and H-2Ab(-/-) (MHCII-deficient) littermate B6.Sle1 and B6.Nba2 mice were evaluated for spleen cell phenotype,...
