Abstract excerpt
Sex-related differences (SrD) are a general characteristic of human autoimmune diseases. There is an increasing body of evidence that suggests a link between sex-related hormones and autoimmune onsets. Here, through a genetic approach using a lupus mouse model, we attempted to show the involvement of genetic factors in the development of SrD in autoimmune diseases. Using MRL/lpr x (MRL/lpr x C57BL/6.Fas(lpr))F1...
