A Tandem Repeat in Decay Accelerating Factor 1 Is Associated with Severity of Murine Mercury-Induced Autoimmunity

<table>PCR determination of presence or absence of CTTTT tandem repeat. Archived DNA from mercury treated (SJL/JxDBA/2)F2 intercross mice was subjected to PCR using appropriate primers (see Figure <a href="../fig2/">2</a>) and products separated by agarose gel electrophoresis. Lane 1, base pair marker; lane 2, homozygous D tandem repeat; lanes 3 and 4, homozygous S tandem repeat; lane 5, heterozygous D/S tandem repeat; lanes 6–25, (SJL/JxDBA/2)F2.</table>
