Background Mercuric chloride (HgCl2) induces a T cell-dependent autoimmune syndrome in Brown Norway (BN) rats, characterized by polyclonal B cell activation and circulating autoreactive T cells. A number of autoantibodies are produced, including antibodies to glomerular basement membrane, and there are circulating immune complexes. However, histologic evidence of tissue injury in this model has previously been reported to be rare.
