(NZB x NZW)F1 mice spontaneously develop an autoimmune syndrome characterized by a fatal immune complex glomerulonephritis. Administration of monoclonal antibodies specific for an I region gene product (I-Az) of the H-2 haplotype associated with susceptibility to glomerulonephritis in these animals produced a remission in female mice with established renal disease. The results demonstrated that anti-I-A therapy stabilized the level of proteinuria and increased the 1-yr survival rate from 10% to greater than 90% in treated animals relative to control mice. These findings may ultimately have therapeutic potential for the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus.
(新西兰黑鼠×新西兰白鼠)F1代小鼠会自发形成一种自身免疫综合征,其特征为致命性免疫复合物肾小球肾炎。给予针对与这些动物肾小球肾炎易感性相关的H-2单倍型I区基因产物(I-Az)的单克隆抗体,可使患有已确诊肾病的雌性小鼠病情缓解。结果表明,相对于对照小鼠,抗I-A治疗可稳定蛋白尿水平,并使治疗动物的1年生存率从10%提高至90%以上。这些发现最终可能对系统性红斑狼疮的治疗具有潜在的治疗价值。
