Activation‐induced deaminase–deficient MRL/lpr mice secrete high levels of protective antibodies against lupus nephritis

Objective We previously generated MRL/lpr mice deficient in activation‐induced deaminase (AID) that lack isotype switching and immunoglobulin hypermutation. These mice have high levels of unmutated (germline) autoreactive IgM, yet they experienced an increase in survival and an improvement in lupus...
