Abstract excerpt
The phenotype of the transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) null mouse has been previously described and is characterized by inflammatory infiltrates in multiple organs leading to a wasting syndrome and death as early as 3 weeks after birth. Since this phenotype occurs in the absence of any detectable pathogen, potential autoimmune disease mechanisms were investigated. We examined major histocompatibility...
