A2 - PB - BioMed Central Y1 - 2019 LA - AB - Abstract Background Primary hypoadrenocorticism (Addison’s disease, AD) and symmetrical lupoid onychodystrophy (SLO) are two clinical conditions with an autoimmune etiology that occur in multiple dog breeds. In man, autoimmunity is associated with polymorphisms in immune-related genes that result in a reduced threshold for, or defective regulation of, T cell activation. The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II genes encode molecules that ... VO - IS - SP - OP - KW - (3–10): Dog; Autoimmune; MHC; DLA; Addison’s disease; SLO N1 - PP - ER -
