Characterization of a new mitochondrial antigen-antibody system (M9/anti-M9) in patients with anti-M2 positive and anti-M2 negative primary biliary cirrhosis.

abstract：:In autoimmune diseases, mitogen-induced IL-2 production in vitro is generally considered to be diminished despite evidence of lymphoid hyperactivity in vivo. HgCl2 is known to cause T-dependent polyclonal B cell activation in Brown-Norway (BN) rats, resulting in autoimmune disease. We show here that the IL-2 producing...
