Abstract excerpt
Extensive evidence indicates that genetic predisposition is a central element in susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus both in humans and animals. We have previously shown that a congenic line carrying a 129-derived chromosome 1 interval on the C57BL/6 background developed humoral autoimmunity. To further dissect the contribution to autoimmunity of this 129 interval, we have created six subcongenic...
