Abstract excerpt
Fas(lpr) (lpr) and Fas(lprcg) (lpr(cg)) are allelic mutations of the Fas gene that is involved in apoptosis or programmed cell death. Lpr greatly reduces the expression of functional Fas and lpr(cg) expresses the death domain-disabled, non-functional Fas on the cell surface. C3H/HeJ mice congenic for lpr(cg) (C3H-lpr(cg)) were established and compared with C3H/HeJ-lpr/lpr (C3H-lpr) mice for their immunological...
