Abstract excerpt
By interval mapping of a backcross progeny between New Zealand White (NZW) and C57BL/6 (B6) mice bearing the Y chromosome-linked autoimmune acceleration gene Yaa, we previously identified a genetic locus on mid-chromosome 13, here designated as Sgp3, showing a major effect on the expression of a nephritogenic autoantigen, gp70. In this study, the NZW-derived Sgp3 region was transferred by backcross procedure and...
