Research Interests
Our laboratory is interested in murine models of autoimmune disease, both spontaneous and induced. We have two major projects. The first uses mercury chloride to induce an anti-nucleolar response in certain strains of mice. This response is directed to fibrillarin, a ribosomal RNA processing protein and is a specificity most commonly found in systemic sclerosis (scleroderma). We are examining the cellular interactions leading to this response.
In the second major project, we are collaborating with Dr. Edward Wakeland and Dr. Laurence Morel in the complex genetic inheritance of lupus in the NZM/2410 mice, which were derived from the classic (NZBxNZW)F1 model. Genetic intervals have been identified and individually backcrossed onto non-autoimmune strains of mice. Through bone marrow transplant experiments, we are exploring how these genes are expressed and delineating the immunological pathways they affect. The overall goal is to identify genes leading to a break in tolerance to self-antigen.
