Abstract excerpt
Susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus in the NZM2410 murine model maps to Sle1, Sle2, Sle3, and the H2 loci. To unravel how these loci contribute to the pathogenesis of lupus, individual NZM2410-derived genomic intervals bearing these loci have been successfully backcrossed onto the resi...
