Abstract excerpt
A haplotype with tightly linked Fc gamma receptor (FcγR) genes is known as a major locus controlling immune responses and autoimmune diseases, including arthritis. Here, we split a congenic fragment derived from the NOD mouse (Cia9) to study its effect on immune response and arthritis in mice. We found that arthritis susceptibility was indeed controlled by the FcγR gene cluster and a recombination between the...
