NOD.H-2h4 mice develop spontaneous autoimmune thyroiditis (SAT) with chronic inflammation of thyroids by T and B cells. B-cell deficient (B(-/-) ) mice are resistant to SAT but develop SAT if regulatory T (Treg) cells are transiently depleted. We established a transfer model using splenocytes from CD28(-/-) B(-/-) mice (effector cells and antigen-presenting cells) cultured with or without sorted Treg cells from...
