Lymphocyte migration patterns in autoimmune MRL-lpr/lpr mice: relationship to age, disease manifestations and lymphocyte homing receptor expression.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Serum C-X-C motif chemokine 10 (CXCL10) levels have been shown to be elevated in autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD). This study sought to determine whether newly diagnosed AITD patients with neuromuscular findings had higher levels of CXCL10 than those without neuromuscular manifestations. DESIGN:A total of ...

abstract：:Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) is postulated to be a target autoantigen in multiple sclerosis (MS). Here we investigated the encephalitogenicity of an immunodominant epitope of MOG, peptide 35-55, in various strains of mice. An MS-like disease was induced in NOD/Lt mice (H-2g7) and C57BL/6 mice (H-2b) by a ...
