Diverse T cell receptor beta gene usage by infiltrating T cells in the lacrimal glands of Sjögren's syndrome.

abstract：:Previous studies using isolated complement proteins have shown that more C4A than C4B binds to certain types of immune complexes. However, the in vivo binding of the C4 isoforms to an immune complex has not been investigated in detail and may differ from events when measured with the isolated proteins. We report here ...
