Abstract excerpt
The origin and structure of two clonally unrelated IgG anti-DNA autoantibodies from lupus-prone MRL/Ipr mice were examined. One of these antibodies, H241, binds dsDNA and glomeruli and deposits in the kidneys of normal mice, whereas the other, H102, binds only ssDNA and does not deposit in kidneys. The VH genes of these two antibodies were almost identical to each other and were frequently expressed in anti-DNA...
