Suppression in murine experimental autoimmune thyroiditis: in vivo inhibition of CD4+ T cell-mediated resistance by a nondepleting rat CD4 monoclonal antibody.

Genetically susceptible mice become resistant to experimental autoimmune thyroiditis (EAT) induction with mouse thyroglobulin (MTg) and lipopolysaccharide after pretreatment with deaggregated MTg (dMTg). Recent work showed this suppression to be mediated by CD4+ suppressor T cells (Ts). To study Ts...
