The complex role of vitamin D in autoimmune diseases.

abstract：:We have investigated the ability of different cells from non-immunized mice of the BALB/c strain to present antigen to two ovalbumin-specific I-Ad-restricted T hybridomas. Lipopolysaccharide-activated B-cell blasts were found to be the most efficient antigen-presenting cells. Purified small and dense splenic B cells a...
