Wound healing succeeds tissue destruction. We hypothesized that antibodies might bind to wounded tissues, which would facilitate the engulfment of damaged tissues by macrophages. We detected the autoantibodies in sera of different ages of mice, which bind to wounded tissues. We detected IgG1 binding to wounded tissues by using FITClabeled anti-IgG1 in C57BL/6 mice. These bands were highest in 4...
