Abstract excerpt
New Zealand Black (NZB) and New Zealand White (NZW) mice are genetically predisposed to a lupus-like autoimmune syndrome. To further define the loci linked to disease traits in NZB and NZW mice in the context of the BALB/c genetic background, linkage analyses were conducted in two crosses: (NZW x BALB/c.H2(z))F(1) x NZB and (NZB x BALB/c)F(2). Novel loci linked to autoantibody production and glomerulonephritis,...
