HLA-DR Transgenic Mice as Models for the Study of Autoimmune Diseases
The primary purpose of these studies was to determine the relationship between the RA susceptibility alleles, DR1 and DR4, and the autoimmunity to CII observed in RA patients. To study the function of these class II alleles, chimeric HLA-DR1 (DRB1*0101) and -DR4 (DRB1*0401) molecules were constructed and established as transgenes in the B10.M mouse strain.25., 26., 27. The chimeric DR molecules were constructed by replacing the second, transmembrane, and cytoplasmic domains with the
Discussion
The development of HLA transgenic mouse models has proven to be an effective approach to studying the function of the HLA molecules associated with autoimmunity. A number of HLA transgenic models of autoimmunity have now been developed, including ankylosing spondylitis,35., 36. EAE,37 and diabetes,38 that have enabled studies of the relationship between class I or class II HLA molecules and autoimmunity. In addition, these models have also made it possible to study the presentation of potential

The link between some alleles on human leukocyte antigen system and autism in children
2013, Journal of NeuroimmunologyCitation Excerpt :The reason behind the initiation of autoimmunity in autism is not well understood. There is evidence supporting an association between some autoimmune disorders and specific alleles of HLA system (Chamie 2004; Levin et al., 2004; Rosloniec et al., 2004). In our series, autistic children had significantly higher frequency of HLA-DRB1*11 than healthy controls (P < 0.001).
The link of C4B null allele to autism and to a family history of autoimmunity in Egyptian autistic children

2008, Advances in ImmunologyCitation Excerpt :Inflammatory arthritis resembling rheumatoid arthritis can be induced in these DR1 and DR4 transgenic mice following immunization with CII (Rosloniec et al., 1997, 1998). An immunodominant epitope identified from human type II collagen was found to be DR1 and DR4‐restricted (Rosloniec et al., 2004). However, it was difficult to decipher the immune response in these mice because endogenous mouse class II molecules (IAf) were also present, and could shape the T‐cell repertoire.
HLA-DR4 in Families With Autism
2006, Pediatric NeurologyCitation Excerpt :There is substantial evidence for an association between specific antigens/alleles of the HLA system and autoimmunity. For example, HLA-DR4, a class II antigen, has been identified as one of the susceptibility markers for certain autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, and is strongly associated with others such as hypothyroidism and autoimmune diabetes [2-5]. These disorders have a higher incidence among parents, especially mothers, of children with autism than control individuals (e.g., parents of typical children or children with autoimmune disorders) [6-8].
