Systemic Lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease characterized by the high production of nuclear antigen specific autoantibodies. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and signals transmitted via MyD88, a molecule downstream of several TLRs play an as yet undefined role in the disease. I am using a series of genetically engineered mice to determine the role of TLRs in the pathogenesis of SLE.
