Three broad categories of defects that can lead to a lupus-like phenotype have thus been defined in the mouse and are instructive for thinking about B-cell abnormalities in human SLE.
Using the collection of historic and newly identified loci involved in anther lobe cell fate specification and differentiation, we can now recognize four categories of defects and provide microscopic evidence and allelism test data to define distinct loci within each of these categories.
A positive match was deemed present if the category of defect was the same for corresponding Octopus and Goldmann results.
The small, medium and large categories of interfacial defect can be classified according to the beam type, defect location and defect size sequentially.
