Brief description The immune system has to recognize the difference between foreign pathogens, which it should attack, and ourselves, which it should not. Autoimmune diseases, like lupus, occur when our immune systems attack our own tissues due to problems in regulation. We have developed an animal model of lupus that has allowed us to identify major points where immune regulation has failed. Identifying these checkpoints will allow us to design and trial novel therapeutics in lupus.
