<i>Lpr</i> and <i>gld</i>: Single Gene Models of Systemic Autoimmunity and Lymphoproliferative Disease
1 Apr 1991
Abstract excerpt
The autosomal recessive lpr and gld genes induce in mice multiple autoantibodies and the progressive accumulation of large numbers of non-malignant CD4- CD8- T lymphocytes. The clinical syndromes and immune abnormalities associated with these two nonallelic genes are nearly identical and are also highly dependent on background genes. MRL/lpr mice are particularly severely affected, and they develop a syndrome...
