Abstract excerpt
NF-κB-inducing kinase (NIK) plays critical roles in the development of lymph nodes and Peyer's patches, and microarchitecture of the thymus and spleen via NF-κB activation. Alymphoplasia (aly/aly) mice have a point mutation in the NIK gene that causes a defect in the activation of an NF-κB member RelB. Here, we developed a novel method to determine the aly mutation by genetic typing using PCR. This method...
