Antinuclear Autoantibodies in Swiss Mice Thymectomized at Birth

Nature volume 214, pages 1134–1136 (1967)Cite this article

Abstract

DE VRIES et al.1 state that the wasting disease which appears in the mouse after thymectomy could be an autoimmune disease, similar in some ways to lupus erythematosus and its equivalents. To test this hypothesis we have examined the humoral symptoms of disseminated lupus erythematosus (DLE) and other antibodies in Swiss mice thymectomized at birth.
