Genomic locus on chromosome 1 regulates susceptibility to spontaneous arthritis in mice deficiency of IL-1RA
Published in BMC Immunology
BackgroundTo understand the role of genetic factors on chromosome 1 in the regulation of spontaneous arthritis in mice deficient in IL-1 receptor antagonist protein (IL_1RA), we previously used speed congenic breeding to transfer the QTL region from DBA/1ā/ā mice that are resistant to spontaneous arthritis into BALB/cā/ā mice which are susceptible....
