Lupus-prone (NZB x NZW)F(1) (BWF(1)) mice were made transgenic (Tg) for an anti-DNA Ab inherited either as a conventional V(H)3H9- micro H chain Tg (3H9- micro ) with or without a conventional V(kappa)8-kappa Tg, or a V(H)3H9 V(H) knock-in Tg allele (3H9R) with or without a V(kappa)4 V(kappa) knock-in Tg allele (V(kappa)4R). V(H)3H9 yields an anti-DNA Ab with most L chains including an anti-ssDNA with the V(kappa)8 Tg and an anti-dsDNA with the V(kappa)4 Tg. BWF(1) mice that inherited the conventional 3H9- micro had normal serum IgM, little to none of which was encoded by 3H9- micro, and only a small percentage of those mice had serum anti-DNA, none of which was transgene encoded. B cells expressing the conventional 3H9- micro Tg were anergic. BWF(1) mice that inherited the knock-in 3H9R Tg allele also had normal serum IgM, one-half of which was encoded by 3H9R, and produced anti-DNA encoded by the Tg allele. Most B cells expressing the knock-in 3H9R Tg also had an anergic phenotype. The results indicate that autoimmune-prone BWF(1) mice initially develop effective B cell tolerance to DNA through anergy, and anergy was sustained in 3H9- micro Tg peripheral B cells but not in 3H9R Tg B cells. B cells expressing the 3H9R knock-in Tg allele were able to achieve an activation threshold that B cells expressing the 3H9- micro conventional Tg could not. The maintenance of B cell tolerance to DNA in autoimmune-prone BWF(1) mice appears to differ from both normal mice and autoimmune-prone MRL(lpr/lpr) mice.
