Abstract excerpt
Antiphospholipid antibodies (aPLs) are associated with thrombosis and recurrent abortions during autoimmune pathologies, but they are also produced in healthy individuals and during infectious diseases. To analyze the possible links between physiologic and pathologic aPLs, it is of importance to characterize normal aPL production.
