Genesis and evolution of antichromatin autoantibodies in murine lupus implicates T-dependent immunization with self antigen.
1 Apr 1993
Abstract excerpt
Autoantibodies reacting with chromatin and its components, histones and DNA, are characteristic of the human autoimmune disease SLE and drug-induced lupus, but the mechanisms of their induction remain unknown. Serial serum samples collected over short intervals from lupus-prone MRL/MP-lpr/lpr and BXSB mice were tested by ELISA on chromatin and its substructures to characterize the initial autoimmune response to...
