Abstract The IgM-Fc receptor (FcμR) is involved in IgM homeostasis as evidenced by
increased pre-immune serum IgM and natural auto-antibodies of both IgM and IgG isotypes …

An idiotypically related family of nephritogenic antibodies (IdLNF1) has been shown to be
important in the pathogenesis of autoimmune glomerulonephritis in the (NZB× SWR) F1 …

We previously established an I g GF c receptor IIB (F cγ RIIB)‐deficient C 57 BL/6 (B 6)‐
congenic mouse strain (KO 1), which spontaneously develops rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but …

The autoimmune disease systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is characterized by the
deposition of immune complexes in organs such as the kidney. This occurs as a result of …

Human immune system (HIS) mice provide a model to study human immune responses in
vivo. Currently available HIS mouse models may harbor mouse Fc Receptor (FcR) …

Single-nucleotide polymorphisms and locus amplification link the NF-κB transcription factor
c-Rel to human autoimmune diseases and B cell lymphomas, respectively. However, the …

Maintenance of immunological tolerance is crucial to prevent development of autoimmune
disease. The production of autoantibodies is a hallmark of many autoimmune diseases and …

The conclusion by Jørgensen et al.(1) that the Ifi200-cluster genes within the Nba2 locus are
dispensable for ANA production is not supported by experimental data (see below). The …

Experimental autoimmune nephritis in mice and spontaneous lupus nephritis are both
associated with elevated expression of several chemokines in the kidneys. Nevertheless …

Passive immunization with anti-D can prevent maternal alloimmunization to RhD thereby
preventing hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn. Unexpectedly, anti-D fails in some …
