Recognition of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-infected cells by T cell colonies from a human chimera: restriction by allogeneic determinants.

abstract：:Vitamin B2 and flavin cofactors are transported tightly bound to immunoglobulin in human serum. We reasoned that anti-mitochondrial flavoprotein autoantibodies (alpha Fp-AB) present in the serum of patients with myocarditis and cardiomyopathy of unknown aetiology may form immunoglobulin aggregates with these serum pro...
