Abstract excerpt
A vast majority of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients display decreased expression of TCR zeta-chain mRNA, a critical signaling molecule implicated in the selection of the TCR repertoire and in the prevention of autoimmunity. To identify the molecular mechanisms involved in the downregul...
