Genetic Modifiers of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus in FcγRIIB−/− Mice
29 Apr 2002
Abstract excerpt
FcgammaRIIB is a potent lupus susceptibility gene as demonstrated by the observation that mice deficient in this molecule develop spontaneous antinuclear antibodies (ANA) and fatal glomerulonephritis when on the C57BL/6 background. To determine the mechanisms underlying the epistasis displayed by this gene we have constructed hybrids between FcgammaRIIB(-/-) and the systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) modifiers...
