Sequence of I-E genes from autoimmune New Zealand white mice

Arthritis and Rheumatism
L R Smith, A N Theofilopoulos

Abstract

Autoimmune New Zealand white (NZW) mice contribute to (New Zealand black x New Zealand white)F1 mice 1 or more major histocompatibility complex-linked genes that strongly correlate with susceptibility to murine lupus. The NZW class II major histocompatibility complex genes, I-E alpha and I-E beta, were cloned and sequenced and found to differ from normal B10.PL (H-2u) mice by 3 amino acids in the first domain of the I-E beta subunit. Of these differences, the arginine at position 72 of NZW mice could be an important disease determinant since it lies in a predicted antigen-binding cleft.

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.
