The lupus susceptibility allele <i>DRB1*03:01</i> encodes a disease-driving epitope
2022-05-31
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The HLA-DRB1*03:01 allele is a major genetic risk factor in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), but the mechanistic basis of the association is unclear. Here we show that in the presence of interferon gamma (IFN-γ), a short DRB1*03:01 -encoded allelic epitope activates a characteristic lupus transcriptome in mouse and human macrophages. It also triggers a cascade of SLE-associated cellular abe...
