Hyper-responsiveness in NZB mice to the experimental induction of anti-red cell autoantibody.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Strain differences in ease of induction of autoantibody production were observed when mice were injected with rat RBC. Responsiveness was not linked to the H-2 locus. NZB and (NZB X BALB/c)F1 mice were hyper-responsive both in terms of the induction of autoantibody and in the production of agglutinating antibody to rat RBC. C57BL/c and (C57BL X BALB/c)F1 were poor responders. Injection of the rat RBC in FCA converted a poor responder into a good responder. Adult thymectomy and ALS treatment did not significantly enhance autoantibody production.

Vaccination with Minigenes Encoding VH-derived Major Histocompatibility Complex Class I–binding Epitopes Activates Cytotoxic T Cells that Ablate Autoantibody-producing B Cells and Inhibit Lupus
Current treatments for autoantibody-mediated diseases, such as lupus, can cause nonspecific immune suppression. In this paper, we used a bioinformatic approach to identify major histocompatibility complex class I-binding epitopes in the heavy chain variable region of anti-DNA antibodies from lupus-prone (NZB/NZW F1) mice. Vaccination of such mice with plasmid DNA vectors encoding these epitopes...
متن کاملBoth IgM and IgG anti-DNA antibodies are the products of clonally selective B cell stimulation in (NZB x NZW)F1 mice
Disease activity in systemic lupus erythematosus is closely associated with the appearance of immunoglobulin (Ig)G antibody to native DNA in both humans and mice. Like normal antibody responses, the anti-DNA autoantibody first appears as IgM and then switches to IgG. Structural studies of IgG anti-DNA suggest that these antibodies are the products of clonally selected, specifically stimulated B...
متن کاملAnti-idiotypic antibodies to the Coombs antibody in NZB F1 mice
The F1 hybrids of NZB and several normal mouse strains are known to produce less anti-erythrocyte (Coombs) autoantibody and develop a milder hemolytic anemia than their NZB parents. We have found that serum from some (NZB x CBA)F1 mice agglutinated erythrocytes from certain Coombs-positive NZB mice, often in extremely high titer, whereas other (CBA x NZB)F1 sera agglutinated erythrocytes from d...
متن کاملT cell abnormalities in NZB mice occur independently of autoantibody production
By means of a series of crosses and backcrosses, ZB.CBA/N mice were prepared bearing largely NZB autosomal genes, but having X chromosomes derived only from CBA/N mice. The CBA/N X chromosome carries a gene, xid, that is associated with the lack of a B cell subset necessary for most of the spontaneous autoantibody production by NZB mice. These ZB.CBA/N mice failed to develop autoantibodies to T...
متن کاملCOMPARISON OF THE IMMUNE RESPONSIVENESS OF NZB AND NZB x NZW F1 HYBRID MICE WITH THAT OF OTHER STRAINS OF MICE
The immune responsiveness of (NZB x NZW) F(1) hybrid mice (NZB/W) has been compared with that of three other strains of mice, A/J, BALB/c, and CBA/J. The antigens used included sheep red blood cells (SRBC), keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH), bovine serum albumin (BSA), and human gamma-globulin (HGG). It was found that important strain differences existed in the amount of antibody produced, but th...
