Figure 2

BALB/c mice (3-month-old) were immunized with DWEYS-MAP and boosted a week later (see Material and Methods). Anti-IL-6 antibody or isotype control (10 mice each group) was injected to mice intravenously at day 8 and day 14 following the initial immunization. Serum was collected at week 6 post initial immunization. ELISA was performed to assess IgG titer of anti-dsDNA autoantibody (A) and anti-DWEYS-peptide antibody levels (B). The experiment was performed twice. Data are from a representative experiment.
