The role of stromal cells in the persistence of chronic inflammation.

abstract：:Previous studies have shown that rabbit anti-mouse immunoglobulin sera (anti-Ig) which kill non-activated B lymphocytes in the presence of complement, are incapable of doing so when the cells are activated by antigen or mitogen into mitosis. Results reported here indicate that the resistance is not dependent on either...
