Abstract excerpt
New Zealand Black (NZB) mice spontaneously develop a severe autoimmune hemolytic anemia due to the production of anti-mouse red blood cell (MRBC) autoantibodies. The contribution of variable region genes and somatic mutations in the pathogenicity of anti-MRBC autoantibodies was investigated by mRNA sequencing of eight NZB anti-MRBC monoclonal autoantibodies, among which five are capable of inducing anemia in...
