Efficient Peripheral Clonal Elimination of B Lymphocytes in MRL/lpr Mice Bearing Autoantibody Transgenes

Peripheral B cell tolerance was studied in mice of the autoimmune-prone, Fas-deficient MRL/ lpr.H-2d genetic background by introducing a transgene that directs expression of membrane-bound H-2Kb antigen to liver and kidney (MT-Kb) and a second transgene encoding antibody reactive with this antigen (...
