Sex-related differences in autoimmune-induced lung lesions in MRL/MpJ-faslpr mice are mediated by the development of mediastinal fat-associated lymphoid clusters
MRL/MpJ-Faslpr (lpr) mice are a model for autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). These diseases mainly affect women, with a 10:1 female-to-male ratio, and cause pleuropulmonary lesions. We previously revealed a correlation between mediastinal fat-associated lymphoid cluster...
