Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To identify the genetic loci regulating the incidence and severity of renal autoimmune vasculitis developed in murine lupus. METHODS: Vasculitis of renal arteries was histopathologically evaluated in MRL/Mp-Fas(lpr) (MRL/lpr), C57BL/6-Fas(lpr) (B6/lpr), (MRL/lpr x B6/lpr) F1, and MRL/lpr x (MRL/lpr x B6/lpr) F1 backcross mice. Using genomic DNA samples of the backcross mice, genome-wide scans,...
