Moreover, data from mouse SLE models show that clinical disease is dependent on B cell-specific expression of the IFNγR and the IFNγ- induced transcription factors (TF) STAT1 (Domeier et al., 2016; Jackson et al., 2016; Thibault et al., 2008) and T-bet in some (Rubtsova et al., 2017; Liu et al., 2017) but not all (Jackson et al., 2016; Du et al., 2019) models. This evidence concerns the gene IFNG and systemic lupus erythematosus.
