A human autoantibody to peroxisomes.

abstract：:Studies in experimental animals suggest that antibody responses to certain polysaccharide antigens may be restricted in IgG subclass distribution. To determine if human antibodies to pneumococcal polysaccharides are similarly restricted we measured the IgG subclass specific response to immunization with purified polyv...
