Previous studies have mapped anti-erythrocyte Ab (AEA)-promoting NZB loci to several chromosomal locations, including chromosome 4; however, none of these have been analyzed with interval congenics. In this study, we used NZB.NZW-Lbw2 congenic (designated Lbw2 congenic) mice containing an introgressed fragment of New Zealand White (NZW) on chromosome 4 encompassing Lbw2, a locus previously linked to survival, glomerulonephritis, and splenomegaly, to investigate its role in AIHA. Lbw2 congenic mice exhibited marked reductions in AEAs and splenomegaly but not in anti-nuclear Abs. Furthermore, Lbw2 congenics had greater numbers of marginal zone B cells and reduced expansion of peritoneal cells, particularly the B-1a cell subset at early ages, but no reduction in B cell response to LPS. Analysis of a panel of subinterval congenic mice showed that the full effect of Lbw2 on AEA production was dependent on three subloci, with splenomegaly mapping to two of the subloci and expansions of peritoneal cell populations, including B-1a cells to one. These results directly demonstrated the presence of AEA-specific promoting genes on NZB chromosome 4, documented a marked influence of background genes on autoimmune phenotypes related to Lbw2, and further refined the locations of the underlying genetic variants. Delineation of the Lbw2 genes should yield new insights into both the pathogenesis of AIHA and the nature of epistatic interactions of lupus-modifying genetic variants.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4049\/jimmunol.1103561","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,2,28]],"date-time":"2012-02-28T05:26:42Z","timestamp":1330406802000},"page":"3307-3314","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["The <i>Lbw2<\/i> Locus Promotes Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"188","author":[{"given":"John C","family":"Scatizzi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Immunology and Microbial Science, The Scripps Research Institute , La Jolla, CA 92037"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria K","family":"Haraldsson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Immunology and Microbial Science, The Scripps Research Institute , La Jolla, CA 92037"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"K Michael","family":"Pollard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular and Experimental Medicine, The Scripps Research Institute , La Jolla, CA 92037"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Argyrios N","family":"Theofilopoulos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Immunology and Microbial Science, The Scripps Research Institute , La Jolla, CA 92037"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dwight H","family":"Kono","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Immunology and Microbial Science, The Scripps Research Institute , La Jolla, CA 92037"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,4,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025032409595472000_r1","first-page":"523","volume-title":"Dubois\u2019 Systemic Lupus Erythematosus","author":"Quismorio","year":"2001","edition":"6"},{"key":"2025032409595472000_r2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"144","DOI":"10.1136\/ard.2005.041673","article-title":"Anaemia in systemic lupus erythematosus: from pathophysiology to clinical assessment","volume":"65","author":"Giannouli","year":"2006","journal-title":"Ann.
