Research Abstract

The progress and achievements of research on the new HLA-B51 transgenic mouse model of Behcet’s disease： The exact cause of Behcet’s disease is still unclear. However, it is well known that there is high incidence of HLA-B51 in patients with Behcet’s disease. In this study, we generated new transgenic mice to elucidate the function of HLA-B51 in Behcet’s disease.
