Effect of OVX, estradiol (E2) repletion, and etanercept (Etan) on plasma anti-dsDNA antibodies in control mice (A) and SLE mice (B). A, Plasma anti-dsDNA antibodies were similar between control mice at 34 weeks of age. B, Plasma anti-dsDNA antibodies were increased at 34 weeks of age in SLE mice compared to controls. OVX and repletion of E2 did not significantly alter these levels in comparison to SLE shams. Treatment with etanercept in OVX mice increased antibody levels in comparison to OVX mice. * p<0.05 vs. OVX
