Autoimmune Myocarditis, Valvulitis, and Cardiomyopathy
Open accessAbstract
Myocarditis and valvulitis are inflammatory diseases affecting myocardium and valve. Myocarditis, a viral‐induced disease of myocardium, may lead to dilated cardiomyopathy and loss of heart function. Valvulitis leads to deformed heart valves and altered blood flow in rheumatic heart disease. Animal models recapitulating these diseases are important in understanding the human condition. Cardiac myosin is a major autoantigen in heart, and antibodies and T cells to cardiac myosin are evident in inflammatory heart diseases. This unit is a practical guide to induction and evaluation of experimental autoimmune myocarditis (EAM) in several mouse strains and the Lewis rat. Purification protocols for cardiac myosin and protocols for induction of EAM by cardiac myosin and its myocarditis‐producing peptides, and coxsackievirus CVB3, are defined. Protocols for assessment of myocarditis and valvulitis in humans and animal models provide methods to define functional autoantibodies targeting cardiac myosin, β‐adrenergic, and muscarinic receptors, and their deposition in tissues.

Lewis rats immunized with cardiac myosin develop experimental autoimmune myocarditis with multinucleated giant cells, replicating clinical findings in giant cell myocarditis.
“The immunized rats developed EAM with multinucleated giant cells, replicating clinical findings in giant cell myocarditis.”
From Autoimmune Myocarditis, Old Dogs and New Tricks. (2024) · cites this paper as [192]
Basic Protocol 2 (page not available) states that immunization with cardiac myosin elicits EAM in Lewis rats. The histopathological assessment protocol describes infiltrating mononuclear cells, but our copy does not report multinucleated giant cells in these rats or say that their lesions replicate clinical giant cell myocarditis.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
