On the cover: MRL/lpr mice deficient for WSX-1 (IL-27R) develop glomerulonephritis that is identical to human membranous glomerulonephritis with spike-like alterations of basement membranes. Th2-dominant immune responses due to lack of IL-27 signaling support the development of membranous glomerulonephritis, in place of the diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis observed in wild-type MRL/lpr mice.

Membranous glomerulonephritis development with Th2-type immune deviations in MRL/lpr mice deficient for IL-27 receptor (WSX-1). J. Immunol. 175: 7185-7192.
