In certain strains of mice, subtoxic doses of HgCl2 (mercuric chloride; mercury) induce a complex autoimmune condition characterized by the production of antinucleolar IgG Abs, lymphoproliferation, increased serum levels of IgG1/IgE Abs, and deposition of renal immune complexes. 4-1BB is an important T cell costimulatory molecule that has been implicated in T cell proliferation and cytokine production, especially production of IFN-gamma.

Injection of mercuric chloride into Brown Norway (BN) rats induces a T lymphocyte-dependent autoimmune syndrome.
In order to investigate whether modification of adhesion and costimulatory molecules on T lymphocytes may be involved in early T lymphocyte activation by HgCl2, the authors analysed expression of these molecules in peripheral lymph node cells from BN rats at day 4 after injection of HgCl2.
