Catalogue Number 151578
Antigen/Gene or Protein Targets TREX1
Disease Keywords Antiviral-like autoimmunity; autoinflammatory disease; Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome
Relevance Model for the human recessive autoimmune disease Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome; potential use for testing of therapeutic agents; identifies a novel immune pathway. Trex1 KO mouse
