## Loss of suppressor T cells was demonstrated in NZB/W mice, an animal model of autoimmunity. As NZB/W mice matured they lost splenic T cells that could be activated by concanavalin A (Con A) to become sup pressor cells and lost the ability to produce the regulator of humoral immune responses, so

## Abstract Mouse thymus cells were educated __in vivo__ with horse red blood cells (RBC) and tested for their ability to cooperate in the response of bone marrow cells to sheep RBC. Significant cooperation was observed only when antiβsheep serum was injected into the educating mouse. We suggest th
The nonobese diabetic (NOD) mouse spontaneously develops an autoimmune diabetes that shares many immunogenetic features with human insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), type 1 diabetes. The mononuclear cell infiltrates in the islet, which results in the development of insulitis (a prerequisite
The key immunological event in the pathogenesis of the autoimmune liver disease primary biliary cirrhosis is breakdown of T-cell self-tolerance to pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC). The mechanism resulting in this breakdown of tolerance remains unclear. Mice exposed to self-PDC mount no immune re
