Abstract excerpt
Lupus susceptibility loci on chromosome 1 have an important role in the development of autoimmunity in the New Zealand Black (NZB) mouse. We have previously shown that C57BL/6 congenic mice with an introgressed homozygous NZB chromosome 1 interval extending from ∼35 to 106 cM develop anti-nuclear antibodies and mild glomerulonephritis. In this study, we produced subcongenic mouse strains to localize the...
