E proteins, a subset of basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) proteins, are transcription activators and their functions are inhibited by DNA-binding inhibitor (Id) 1-4. Studies have shown that Treg levels are decreased in Id3 knockout mice. Mice over-expressing Id1 in CD4 T

Diffuse pulmonary hemorrhage (DPH) is an uncommon but critical complication of systemic lupus erythematosus. Peritoneal administration of 2,6,10,14-tetramethylpentadecane (pristane) can recapitulate a lupus-like syndrome in mice, which can develop into DPH within a few weeks, especially in C57BL/6 mice.
