Abstract excerpt
Congeneic pairs of MRL/lpr and MRL/++ (+/+) mice differ in incidence of autoantibodies, lymphoproliferative disease and survival, characteristics that are linked to immunological abnormalities. MRL/lpr mice have a significantly shorter life span compared to +/+ mice. Because a weak antioxidant defense and an increased generation of free radicals are generally implicated in the severity of many autoimmune disease,...
