Abstract excerpt
Mouse experimental autoimmune thyroiditis (EAT), a model for Hashimoto's thyroiditis, is induced by immunizing with mouse thyroglobulin (MTg). To study the extent of H2A involvement in EAT, we introduced AaAb genes from susceptible k mice into resistant or intermediately susceptible strains which do not express H2E molecules. Thyroiditis was severe in resistant B10.M (H2(f)) mice carrying the double transgene...
