Mouse models of lupus 10 years later: key advances in understanding pathogenesis & remaining uncertainties in translation

In 2010, a meeting was held at the National Library of Medicine focused on mouse models of lupus and their relevance to human disease.  At that time, the overall consensus was that mouse models are indeed useful for the investigation of SLE and would lead to a better understanding of disease pathophysiology and more effective treatment options. However, progress continues to be slow, and while several promising therapeutic approaches were effective in murine disease, they continue to disappoint in the human trials. Moreover, treatment today for several key disease manifestations (e.g. brain, kidney) is still based on non-specific immunosuppressive modalities. It is the purpose of this meeting to revisit murine models of lupus and open the dialogue as to their real value in understanding and treating human disease.
