Abstract excerpt
The gene responsible for the lpr mutation in MRL mice that are prone to systemic lupus erythematosus has been shown to encode the apoptosis-inducing Fas antigen, thus pointing to control of apoptosis as a major regulatory mechanism in autoimmunity. In the non-obese diabetic mouse model for insuli...
