Abstract excerpt
Studies have revealed that increased expression of interferon (IFN)-inducible Ifi202 gene (encoding p202 protein) in splenic B and T cells from B6.Nba2 congenic (congenic for Nb2 locus derived from NZB mice) female mice is associated with lupus susceptibility. However, signaling pathways that regulate Ifi202 expression in immune cells remain to be elucidated. Here we report that stimulation of T cells...
