Correlation between mixed lymphocyte culture and phytohaemagglutinin stimulation responses of human lymphocytes.

abstract：:It is unclear how breakdown in immune tolerance to the ubiquitous self-antigen pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC), seen in the autoimmune liver disease PBC, gives rise to tissue damage with such a limited distribution (restricted to the liver and salivary and lachrymal glands). One property shared by these tissues i...
