  1. Treatment with either lymphotoxin-beta receptor-immunoglobulin fusion protein (LTβR-Ig) or mouse monoclonal IgG1 (MOPC 21) was started at week 9. Euthanization was carried out 1 week after the last injection. Mice receiving either LTβR-Ig or MOPC 21 and euthanized at 12 weeks of age had received 3 injections, those euthanized at 16 weeks of age had received 7 injections, and those euthanized at 19 weeks of age had received 10 injections. -, no mice in these groups; LT, mice treated with lymphotoxin-beta receptor-immunoglobulin fusion protein; MO, mice treated with mouse monoclonal IgG1; NT, mice not treated.
