Abstract excerpt
Macrophages (mphi) from prediseased mice of all the major murine models of spontaneous autoimmunity have an identical defect in cytokine expression that is triggered by serum and/or apoptotic cells. We show here that mphi from prediseased mice of the same models of spontaneous autoimmunity share a serum-dependent defect in the activity of Rho, a cytoplasmic G protein and cytoskeletal regulator. Affected strains...
