Funded Activity Summary

Our immune systems are capable of producing long-lived antibodies that can last a lifetime. Sometimes, this powerful process can however become abnormal and result in autoimmune diseases such as lupus. We have recently developed the first experimental mouse model that allows researchers to study this process in great detail. This funding will extend our initial observations by identifying the exact mechanisms by which important regulators of autoimmune disease act.
