Comparison between the latex nucleoprotein test and the fluorescent method for the demonstration of antinuclear factor.
The evidence that systemic lupus erythematosus (S.L.E.) is a complex disease developing as a result of an auto-immune process is based on the finding in the serum of abnormal antibody-like globulins which can be shown to react with the patient's own blood cells and certain plasma constituents, and presumably result from the activity of immunologically-competent cells. Factors with affinity for ...

متن کاملPrevalence of autoantibodies against cellular antigens in patients with HIV and leprosy coinfection in the Amazon region
BACKGROUND Infectious agents can activate self-reactive T cells. In general, infections trigger various mechanisms, including a lack of auto-tolerance, induction of costimulatory molecules on antigen presenting cells, and molecular simulation, in addition to cross-reactions between microbial antigens and self-antigens. HIV and leprosy coinfections lead to self-immunity with the production of au...
