Abstract excerpt
New Zealand Black (NZB) mice spontaneously develop autoimmune disease, usually characterized by an autoimmune hemolytic anemia, and NZB genes are essential for a severe systemic lupus-like disease in (NZB x NZW)F1 mice. We have found that resting B cells from NZB mice demonstrate a pronounced defect, compared with five normal strains, in apoptosis induction after cross-linking with anti-IgM Abs. In contrast,...
