    摘要: Provided herein is a recombinant or transgenic non-human mammal comprising a nucleic acid encoding a mutant three-prime exonuclease 1 (three prime repair exonuclease 1; TREX1), and in particular aspects the mammal expresses the mutant Trex1 protein. The non-human mammal is useful for identifying candidate compounds for the treatment of autoimmune disease (in human or animal, typically mammalian) subjects. Another aspect of the invention is, accordingly, a method for indentifying candidate compounds for the treatment of autoimmune disease or disorder comprising: providing the recombinant non-human mammal; administering a test substance to the recombinant non-human mammal; and determining whether said test substance reduces at least one indicia of autoimmune disease in said mammal, wherein a reduction in said at least one indicia indicates said test substance is a candidate compound for the treatment of autoimmune disease.
