Abstract excerpt
The generalized lymphoproliferative disease (gld) and lymphoproliferation (lpr) mutations induce the development of strikingly similar autoimmune and lymphoproliferative syndromes in C57BL/6 mice (B6). These syndromes are characterized by hyperglobulinaemia, high levels of circulating autoantibodies and significant splenomegaly and lymphadenopathy resulting principally from the accumulation of a double negative...
