Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the influence of the genetic background of an arthritis-prone strain of mice, MRL, on the spontaneous development of arthropathy in DBA/1 mice, which histopathologically resembles enthesopathy in humans, and to clarify the strain-specific gene loci and their interactions that confer susceptibility to arthropathy. METHODS: MRL, DBA/1, (MRL x DBA/1)F(1), and (MRL x DBA/1)F(2) intercross mice...
