Journal ArticleDOI

Expression of the Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigen-1 (EBNA-1) in the mouse can elicit the production of anti-dsDNA and anti-Sm antibodies.

TL;DR: It is reported for the first time that expression of the entire EBNA-1 protein in the mouse can elicit the production of IgG antibodies to Sm and to double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), which supports a possible association between EBV infection and SLE.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bromocriptine restores tolerance in estrogen-treated mice

TL;DR: The estradiol-induced breakdown in B-cell tolerance can be abrogated by bromocriptine, which induces anergy in the high-affinity DNA-reactive B cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Induction of tolerance to an IgG autoantibody.

TL;DR: Nonautoimmune mice transgenic for the heavy chain of an IgG2b anti-double-stranded-DNA antibody express the transgene in lymphoid organs and display partial allelic exclusion of this gamma 2b transgenes, demonstrating the induction of self tolerance to an Igg autoantibody.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reduced adult neurogenesis and altered emotional behaviors in autoimmune-prone B-cell activating factor transgenic mice.

TL;DR: The results suggest that anxiety associated with autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, and Sjögren's syndrome can be linked to brain inflammation, impaired neurogenesis, and hippocampal plasticity.
