Autoantibodies in the ERdj5−/− animal sera. (A) Serum concentrations of anti-nuclear antibodies (ANAs) in female (top panel) and male (bottom panel) ERdj5−/− mice and wildtype controls at 1.5, 7, and 12 months of age. (B) Detection of specific autoantibodies in the serum of female (top panels) and male (bottom panels) ERdj5−/− mice and wildtype controls at 1.5, 7, and 12 months of age. Left panels: detection of anti-SSA/Ro52 autoantibodies; Middle panels: detection of anti-SSA/Ro60 autoantibodies; Right panels: detection of anti-SSB/La autoantibodies. Data are represented as individual points for each subject, overlaid by a horizontal mean group value ± SEM. Statistically significant differences are indicated as * for p < 0.05, ** for p < 0.01, *** for p < 0.001 and **** for p < 0.0001.
