Abstract excerpt
The genetic basis of immune-mediated nephritis is poorly understood. Recent studies have demonstrated that the NZW mouse strain is more prone to immune-mediated nephritis compared with C57BL/6 and BALB/c strains. The present study extends these findings by challenging 12 additional inbred strains of mice with rabbit anti-mouse glomerular basement membrane (GBM) reactive sera. Compared with control sera-injected...
