โœฆ Synopsis


Our increased understanding of the molecular basis of autoimmunity owes much to an appreciation of general principles governing peptide-MHC interactions. Such understanding may help resolve long-standing questions concerning autoimmune diseases and aid development of improved therapeutic strategies for their treatment.

The gene responsible for the lpr mutation in MRL mice that are prone to systemic lupus erythematosus has been shown to encode the apoptosis-inducing Fas antigen, thus pointing to control of apoptosis as a major regulatory mechanism in autoimmunity. In the non-obese diabetic mouse model for insulin-d
