Brief description DNA in mammalian cells is contained within a structure known as the nucleus. The presence of DNA outside the nucleus in the cytoplasm of the cell is a sure sign that something is wrong, and may indicate the presence of a viral invader. In this case, the cell initiates anti-viral responses, including production of anti-viral proteins and death of the infected cell to stop replication of the virus. Lack of proper control of these responses may contibute to the autoimmune disease lupus.
