Abstract excerpt
Systemic lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disease in which complex interactions between genes and environmental factors determine the disease phenotype. We have shown that genes from the non-autoimmune strains 129 and C57BL/6 (B6), commonly used for generating gene-targeted animals, can induce a lupus-like disease. Here, we conducted a genome-wide scan analysis of a cohort of (129 x B6)F2 C1q-deficient mice...
