immune system
N |
• mice exhibit normal B and T cell development and basal secretion of immunoglobulins
• B cells do not exhibit spontaneous activation unlike T cells
• ovalbumin-treated mice exhibit normal germinal center kinetics
• mice treated with NP-LPS exhibit normal autoantibody production
|
• accelerated antigen-specific B cell response in response to ovalbumin, NP-LPS and Borrelia burgdorferi infection
|
• increased anti-ovalbumin IgG titer after ovalbumin treatment
• CpG-DNA-treated mice exhibit renal IgG deposits unlike wild-type mice
|
• spontaneous activation
|
• after stimulation with anti-CD3 or anti-CD3/anti-CD28 antibodies
|
• CpG-DNA-treated mice exhibit increased anti-double stranded DNA antibody levels and renal IgG deposits compared with control mice
|
• in CpG-DNA-treated mice
• however, untreated mice do not produce autoantibodies and do not when treated with anti-thyroglobulin or anti-actin antibodies
|
• Borrelia burgdorferi-infected mice exhibit enhanced IgG response compared with wild-type mice
