Abstract

To determine the transacting genetic factors of NZW contributing to the development of autoimmune disease in (NZB X NZW)F1 (B/W F1) mice, we examined the relationship between the T cell receptor beta chain gene deletion and the severity of autoimmune manifestations in 76 B/W F1 X NZB backcross mice. Very high association between the T cell receptor beta chain gene deletion and the development of autoimmune manifestations including the production of IgG anti-DNA antibodies and circulating retroviral gp70 immune complexes was observed, indicating that a defect in the NZW T cell receptor beta chain gene or a locus closely linked to it contributes to the autoantibody formation in B/W F1.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
