Induction of murine autoimmune disease by chronic polyclonal B cell activation

L Hang, JH Slack, C Amundson, S Izui, AN Theofilopoulos and FJ Dixon

In vivo, prolonged polyclonal activation of B cells by the nonantigenic but potent mitogenic lipid A portion of lipopolysaccharide (LPS-R595) resulted in acceleration of the late life systemic lupus erythematosus disease of female MRL/n, BXSB, and NZW mice, mimicking the time, form, and histopathological features characteristic of their early life disease counterparts, i.e., MRL/l females, BXSB males, and (NZB X NZW)F1 females. Similar polyclonal B cell activation of "immunologically normal" mice has less effect and led to a limited expression of autoimmune disease. This R595-induced autoimmunity and immune complex-mediated disease seemed to be the direct result of activation of the immune system and not from other effects of endotoxin since C3H/HeJ, a strain lacking lymphocyte receptors for LPS-R595, had neither serological nor histological evidence of autoimmune disease despite identical treatment.
