Cellular microchimerism as a lifelong physiologic status in parous women: An immunologic basis for its amplification in patients with systemic sclerosis

1 Apr 2003

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To quantitatively measure male DNA in blood from women with systemic sclerosis (SSc) and from controls and to evaluate in vitro the modulation of the microchimeric cell population size following immunologic stimuli that were expected to trigger antigen-specific T cells. METHODS: A real-time polymerase chain reaction for a Y chromosome sequence was used to measure male DNA in blood from women with SSc...
