Therefore, we established a murine model of experimental autoimmune myocarditis (EAM)21 by adoptively transferring ex vivo-generated myosin heavy chain α (MyHCα)-presenting bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs), which present a cardiac self-antigen to T cells in lymph nodes during sensitization, into WT mice on days 0, 2, and 4, and analyzed mice 10 days later (Fig. 1a). This evidence concerns the gene MYH6 and autoimmune myocarditis.
