Nasal tolerance in experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis (EAMG): induction of protective tolerance in primed animals.

abstract：:There are few studies assessing the pathogenicity of human monoclonal anti-DNA antibodies. The use of SCID mice avoids the problem of rejection of the human hybridoma cells thus allowing in vivo assessment of human immunoglobulins. Using electron microscopy we have shown that the human IgG anti-dsDNA monoclonal antibo...
