Mechanisms of Kidney Injury in Lupus Nephritis - the Role of Anti-dsDNA Antibodies.

abstract：:This study develops an original co-infection model in mice using Brucella melitensis, the most frequent cause of human brucellosis, and Trypanosoma brucei, the agent of African trypanosomiasis. Although the immunosuppressive effects of T. brucei in natural hosts and mice models are well established, we observed that t...
