We previously reported that activation-induced deaminase (AID) heterozygous MRL/lpr mice have substantially lower levels of serum anti-dsDNA autoantibodies than AID wild-type littermates. Given the known functions of AID, here we examined whether this decrease in pathogenic autoantibodies in the...
