Abstract excerpt
Many autoimmune conditions have close genetic linkages to particular human histocompatibility leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II genes. With the aim of establishing a murine model of autoimmune disease, we have generated an HLA DR4-DQ3 haplotype transgenic (Tg) mouse that expresses a 440-kb yeast artificial chromosome harbouring DRA, DRB1*040101, DRB4*010301, DQA1*030101, DQB1*0302 and all the internal regulatory...
