Gender | Male | Female | Male | Female |
Aire+/+ mice | 1/3 | 0/2 | 0/7 | 1/3 |

IgG autoantibodies detected in the sera of Aire+/+ and Aire−/− HLA-DR2b or HLA-DR4 tg mice which was stained against a panel of organs (stomach, lung, liver, bowel, pancreas and kidney) from SCID mice, IgG binding was observed in the gastric tissue. Shown are the incidences of mice that have IgG auto-antibodies (n = 3–10).
