Abstract excerpt
The abundance of B-1a cells found in the peritoneal cavity of mice is under genetic control. The lupus-prone mouse New Zealand Black and New Zealand White (NZB x NZW)F(1) and its derivative NZM2410 are among the strains with the highest numbers of peritoneal B1-a cells. We have previously identified an NZM2410 genetic locus, Sle2, which is associated with the production of large numbers of B-1a cells. In this...
