Antibodies to extractable nuclear antigens in rheumatoid arthritis: relationship to vasculitis and circulating immune complexes.

abstract：:T cells of C57BL/6J (B6) mice activated in vitro against the K and D determinants of the H-2d haplotype, and expanded in tissue culture in the presence of interleukin 2, were capable of rapidly killing lethally irradiated BALB/c recipients when injected intravenously. Mice given 10(6), 10(7) and 10(8) such T cells sur...
