Abstract excerpt
MRL lpr/lpr mice develop a generalized autoimmune disease associated with a massive accumulation in the peripheral lymphoid organs of abnormal, phenotypically immature T cells. Both the lymphoadenopathy and the autoimmunity are thymus-dependent and likely to arise from an aberrant pathway of intrathymic differentiation. We here present the marked beneficial effects acquired in MRL lpr/lpr mice after in vivo...
