A colony of German shepherd dogs was studied in which a high proportion of antinuclear antibody (ANAb) carriers and dogs with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)-like signs were found. The titre of serum thymulin and the percentage of circulating T lymphocytes were both low. The incidence of disease decreased down the generations through the introduction of outside sires, thus suggesting a genetic origin for the disease.
对一群德国牧羊犬进行了研究,发现其中有高比例的抗核抗体(ANAb)携带者以及出现系统性红斑狼疮(SLE)样症状的犬只。血清胸腺素水平和循环T淋巴细胞百分比均较低。通过引入外来种公犬,疾病的发生率在几代中逐渐降低,因此提示该疾病有遗传起源。
