Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a chronic liver disease putatively caused by loss of tolerance to hepatocyte specific autoantigens. It is currently divided into types 1 and 2, based on the expression of autoantibodies. Autoantigenic epitopes have been identified only for the less frequent type 2 AIH. Many type 2 AIH mouse models have been well developed in recent years. This review focuses on some kinds of well-established type 2 AIH mouse models.
