Abstract
The failure to induce self-tolerance of simian virus 40 large tumor antigen (T antigen) expressed in the pancreatic beta cells of transgenic mice results in an autoimmune response against this protein and the cells that synthesize it. In every transgenic mouse with delayed onset of T-antigen expression and consequent nontolerance, B cells, T cells, and macrophages are attracted to and infiltrate the pancreatic islets. In contrast, the incidence, onset, and intensity of the B-cell response to produce anti-T-antigen autoantibodies vary considerably with genetic background. Thus the initial attraction of lymphocytes to the cells synthesizing a non-self antigen can be separated from the activation of a B-cell response against it. Haplotypes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) differentially influence the character of the autoimmune response, with H-2d and H-2k conferring a high incidence of humoral autoimmunity. Additional non-MHC linked genes are also implicated in control of the B-cell response.
