Diabetes-prone BB (dpBB) rats develop autoimmune insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) at high frequency as a consequence of a defect in T cell development, caused by a mutation in a single gene locus on rat chromosome 4 (lyp) which has recently been identified as immune-associated nucleotide 4 (ian4). A phenotype similar to dpBB rat lymphopenia has recently been described in the mouse as the result of the targeted inactivation of the gene for the transcription factor LKLF (Lung Kruppel-like factor, KLF2) in the immune system. We cloned the LKLF gene of the rat and screened a panel of rat/hamster radiation hybrid cell lines to determine its chromosomal localization. We conclude that the LKLF gene is not defective-in dpBB rats and that its expression is not compromised by the lyp mutation.
