Anti-mitochondrial flavoprotein autoantibodies of patients with myocarditis and dilated cardiomyopathy (anti-M7): interaction with flavin-carrying proteins, effect of vitamin B2 and epitope mapping.

abstract：:A method enabling direct enumeration of mouse T and B cells from cytocentrifuged cell smears is described. The acid alpha-naphthyl acetate esterase (ANAE) staining was used as marker for T cells. The distribution of the ANAE marker-carrying lymphocytes closely followed the percentual distribution of T cells in spleen ...
