B Lymphocytes Producing Demyelinating Autoantibodies: Development and Function in Gene-targeted Transgenic Mice
1 Jul 1998
Abstract excerpt
We studied the cellular basis of self tolerance of B cells specific for brain autoantigens using transgenic mice engineered to produce high titers of autoantibodies against the myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG), a surface component of central nervous system myelin. We generated "knock-in" mice by replacing the germline JH locus with the rearranged immunoglobulin (Ig) H chain variable (V) gene of a...
