Does a neuroimmune interaction contribute to the genesis of painful peripheral neuropathies?

abstract：:Antibodies to DNA in the left-handed (Z) conformation bind to acid-fixed polytene chromosomes of both Chironomus thummi and Drosophila melanogaster, as shown by direct and indirect immunofluorescence. Comparison of the phase-contrast, immunofluorescence, and DNA staining patterns shows a predominant localization of th...
