Abstract excerpt
Spontaneous mouse mutations that cause severe immunodeficiency or autoimmunity are invaluable tools with which to investigate the mammalian immune system. Mutations at the 'motheaten' locus result in severe immunological dysfunction due to disruption of the structural gene encoding Src-homology 2-domain phosphatase-1 (SHP-1). This natural model for a specific protein-tyrosine-phosphatase deficiency is being...
