In susceptible mice treated with mercuric chloride (HgCl (2)), administration of a blocking anti-CTLA-4 Ab resulted in a further increase in anti-nucleolar autoantibodies and in total serum IgG1 levels.

Absence of CTLA-4 expression in CD40L-/- mice suggests that signaling via both CD28 and CD40L is important for T cell activation and subsequent autoimmunity in mHgIA.

Inhibition of CD40-CD40-L and CTLA4/CD28-B7s interactions by anti-CD40-L antibody and soluble CTLA4-immunoglobulin (Ig) fusion protein, respectively, abrogated the autoimmune disease without affecting interleukin 4 (IL-4) production, showing the importance of physical contact between T and B lymphocytes in the Th2-mediated process.
