Development of a major histocompatibility complex class II conditional knockout mouse to study cell‐specific and time‐dependent adaptive immune responses in peripheral nerves

The precise relationship between molecular mimicry and tissue-specific autoimmunity is unknown. Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II antigen presenting cell-CD4+ T-cell receptor complex interactions are necessary for adaptive immunity. This study aimed to determine the role of endoneurial endothelial cell MHC class II in autoimmune polyneuropathy.
