Autoimmunity in mice bearing lprcg: a novel mutant gene.
International reviews of immunology - 1 Jan 1994
Kimura M, Matsuzawa A
Abstract excerpt
A novel mutation at the lpr (lymphoproliferation)(Fas) locus, lprcg, that can complement gld (generalized lymphoproliferative disease) in induction of lymphadenopathy was discovered in CBA/K1Jms mice. The lpr and lprcg mutations are a defective allele of the Fas locus that encodes an apoptosis-mediating receptor. The former does not express the receptor and the latter expresses the point-mutated nonfunctional...
