Abstract excerpt
An MRL/MpJ strain of mice bearing the Fas deletion mutant gene, lpr (MRL/lpr), composed of genomes derived from LG/J, AKR/J, C3H/Di and C57BL/6J mice, develops systemic vasculitis coincidentally with other collagen diseases, but a C3H/HeJ-lpr/lpr (C3H/lpr) strain does not. In a genome-wide screening of the MRL background genes mediating susceptibility to collagen diseases using N2 progeny mice MRL/lpr x (MRL/lpr...
