99th Dahlem conference on infection, inflammation and chronic inflammatory disorders: viruses, autoimmunity and immunoregulation.

abstract：:The depressed cell-mediated immunity in rheumatoid arthritis was investigated in vivo by cutaneous hypersensitivity responses to seven antigens including tuberculin PPD, and in vitro by lymphocyte transformation to the latter antigen. In vivo 40% of rheumatoid patients were anergic compared to 2% of controls (P less t...
