Abstract excerpt
BAFF-R is the predominant receptor that mediates B-cell activating factor (BAFF)-dependent B-cell signalling and plays a critical role in late-stage B-cell maturation and survival. BAFF has been implicated in the development of autoimmunity and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). To define the role of BAFF-R in autoimmunity and SLE, we crossed A/WySnJ mice with MRL-lpr mice and generated BAFF-R-mutant MRL-lpr...
