abstract：:Polymorphisms in the upstream regulatory region of the HLA class II DQA1 gene are currently defined by 10 different alleles. Two of them carrying a Y-box mutation are associated with susceptibility to oligoarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (OA-JIA). We investigated allele-dependent differences in HLA-DQA1 gene e...

abstract：:CD4+ T cells play a crucial role in the development of lupus in MRL-lpr/lpr mice: incomplete deletion/silencing of self-reactive CD4+ T cells leads to T cell activation, which causes both polyclonal B cell activation and T cell infiltration of multiple organs. Furthermore, anti-CD4 antibody therapy ameliorates disease...
