Abstract excerpt
The development of organ-specific autoimmune diseases in mice thymectomized on day 3 of life (d3tx mice) can be prevented by transferring CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells from syngeneic, normal adult mice. Using a d3tx model, we asked whether CD4(+)CD25(+) T cell deficiency contributes to glomerulonephritis (GN) in lupus-prone mice. New Zealand Mixed 2328 (NZM2328) mice spontaneously develop autoantibodies to dsDNA and...
