Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To clarify the mode of inheritance and the genome origins of arthritis in a lupus-prone strain of mice, MRL/MpJ, bearing a Fas deletion mutant gene, lpr (MRL/lpr). METHODS: Using non-lupus-prone strains of mice, C3H/HeJ-lpr/lpr (C3H/lpr), (MRL/lpr x C3H/lpr)F(1) intercross and MRL/lpr x (MRL/lpr x C3H/lpr)F(1) backcross mice were prepared. Arthritis in individual mice was analyzed by histopathologic...
