Stem cells from a lpr/lpr mouse do not cause the lpr syndrome characteristic of unmanipulated MRL/lpr mice when injected into nonautoimmune neonatal mice. Instead, these neonatal chimeras gradually become markedly lymphopenic. As adults, only limited donor cell engraftment (approximately 5%) was evident as assessed by cell surface staining of H-2D or Thy-1 allelic markers. However, the relatively low number of lpr/lpr-derived B cells produced greater than 90% of the circulating IgG2a antibody and all detectable IgG2a anti-ssDNA autoantibody, indicating that lpr/lpr B cells express an intrinsic genetic defect resulting in hyper-IgG and autoantibody secretion.
