Abstract excerpt
The MHC is an essential contributor to autoimmunity. Lmp2 and Tap1 are genes located in the MHC class II region, and they encode proteins participating in the generation and transport of endogenous peptides for T cell education. A mutation (T-->A) has now been detected in the shared bidirectional promoter of the Lmp2 and Tap1 genes in the nonobese diabetic (NOD) mouse. The nucleotide substitution...
