Failure to induce autoimmune phenomena in mice by administration of highly purified C-type particles from NZB mice.
Highly purified C-type particles from milk of NZB mice were ineffective in the transfer of Coombs positive hemolytic anemia and cryoglobulinemia to neonatal BALB/cHeA and NZC/B1 mice. Injection of neonatal NZB mice with these particles did not change the frequency or time of onset of these phenomena. Antinuclear antibodies were found in all injected animals in the same frequencies as in the control groups.
