In addition, adoptive transfer into irradiated nu/nu BALB/c mice of T cells from the spleen of transgenic BALB/c mice expressing the TCR Vα4.4Jα24 and Vβ9 chain recognizing CD1d on syngenic B cells induced lupus and severe immune complex glomerulonephritis, including the production of anti-dsDNA antibodies, in the host mice [34]. Here, CD1D is linked to systemic lupus erythematosus.
