Intravenous immunoglobulin suppresses experimental myasthenia gravis: immunological mechanisms.

abstract：:Unfractionated cytokines have been shown to induce in vitro proliferation of neonatal rat Schwann cells but the nature of the mitogen(s) is not known. A mixture of rabbit antibodies specific for recombinant interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1 alpha) and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) inhibited Schwann cell proliferation induced...
