Notes

• Experiment
  Linkage analysis was performed on a population of female (NZB/BlNJ x NZW/LacJ)F1 x NZW/BlNJ backcross animals to identify QTLs associated with autoimmune nephritis traits. Neither parental strains NZB/BlNJ nor NZW/LacJ develop severe nephritis. However, (NZB/BlNJ x NZW/LacJ)F1 hybrid animals do develop severe nephritis with several autoantibody traits. This study extends a previous nephritis mapping experiment using 60 female animals from the same kind of cross. In this study 48 additional female animalsand 9 microsatellite markers were added to the analysis.
  
  Suggestive linkage to IgG anti-dsDNA and anti-histone antibodies mapped to 52 cM on mouse Chromosome 7 near D7Mit7. The NZB/BlNJ-derived allele confers increased IgG anti-dsDNA and anti-histone antibody production at this locus.
