ABSTRACT
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease with many immunological, clinical and laboratory
abnormalities. SLE has a genetic component, however it is generally accepted that environmental factors play a key role in the
onset and progression of this disease. The principal immunological abnormality is the intolerance to nuclear antibodies. Studies
in knock-out models or transgenic animals have provided a conceptual base for understanding the way the organism loses
immunologic tolerance to this antibodies. In general, these abnormalities are classified in three categories: 1) defects that
promote auto-antigen presentation and the response to apoptotic cells 2) defects that affect the signaling of B and/or T cells
causing and abnormal self-reactive stimulation of the lymphocytes and 3) defects that promote the survival of auto-reactive
lymphocytes.
