Abstract excerpt
A basis for the genetic predisposition to psoriasis is a single locus, PSORS1, within the major histocompatibility complex I region. This murine major histocompatibility complex locus encodes nonclassical molecules such as Qa2. We hypothesized that a natural loss-of-function variant of Qa2 gene clusters promotes psoriasis. In this study, we have developed a mannan-induced psoriasis model with the double...
