Glomerular matrix metalloproteinases and their regulators in the pathogenesis of lupus nephritis.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:The Vβ12-transgenic mouse was previously generated to investigate the role of antigen-specific T cells in collagen-induced arthritis (CIA), an animal model for rheumatoid arthritis. This mouse expresses a transgenic collagen type II (CII)-specific T-cell receptor (TCR) β-chain and consequently displays an ...
