Abstract excerpt
To study the relative contributions of clonal deletion, clonal anergy, and receptor editing to tolerance induction in autoreactive B cells and their dependence on B cell receptor affinity, we have constructed "knock in" mice in which germline encoded or somatically mutated, rearranged anti-DNA heavy (H) chains were targeted to the H chain locus of the mouse. The targeted H chains were expressed on the vast...
