Abstract excerpt
The transcription factor serum amyloid A-activating factor-1 (SAF-1) has been identified as a regulator of a number of cellular genes. To assess the pleiotropic role of SAF-1 in vivo, we generated SAF-1 transgenic mice, in which CMV immediate-early promoter was used to direct expression of the SAF-1 transgene in multiple organs. Our study shows that overexpression of SAF-1 predisposes animals to arthritis....
