Anti-DNA Abs in sera of SLE-afflicted BALB/c mice that were treated
with pCDR1. BALB/c mice (20 mice/group) were immunized and boosted
with 16/6Id. Later (3.5 months) mice were treated with pCDR1 i.v. or
s.c., 100 μg/mouse once per week for 10 weeks. ⧫, 16/6Id
immunized; ○, 16/6Id immunized and treated with pCDR1
i.v.; ▴, 16/6Id immunized and treated with pCDR1 s.c.;
□, sera of normal mice. Results expressed as OD ± SD
were obtained at bleeding before death and represent all previous
bleedings. Results were reproducible in three independent experiments.
*, P < 0.01 as compared with both
pCDR1-treated groups.
