Production of thymocyte-stimulating activity by cultured human thyroid epithelial cells.

abstract：:We have shown previously that IgG2a anti-Thy-1 MoAb (ER4G) induces apoptosis of rat mesangial cells (GMC) in vitro. Since the classical complement pathway plays an essential role in Thy-1 nephritis, we analysed whether C1q, a subunit of the first component of complement, enhances the ER4G-mediated apoptosis of rat GMC...
