Does Δ133p53 isoform trigger inflammation and autoimmunity?

Abstract excerpt

Autoimmune diseases are characterized by the immune system mounting a response against self. The exact etiology of autoimmune diseases and autoimmunity remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate that Δ133p53, an isoform of the tumor suppressor protein p53, is involved in the development of autoimmunity. We have previously generated a mouse model of Δ133p53 (Δ122p53). Δ122p53 mice develop an autoimmune/...
