Apoptosis abnormalities of splenic lymphocytes in autoimmune lpr and gld mice

The murine gene lpr encodes an aberrant form of the apoptosis-inducing receptor Fas. The gene gld, which causes an autoimmune syndrome phenotypically identical to that caused by lpr, encodes a mutant Fas ligand. Because the lpr gene must be expressed in both T and B cells to produce autoimmune disea...
