Immunoglobulin V genes in rheumatoid arthritis.

Rheumatic diseases clinics of North America - 1 Nov 1992

Sasso E H

Abstract excerpt

Recent studies have revealed that a broad spectrum of Ig V genes (VH, V kappa, V lambda) contribute to the rheumatoid factor (RF) and non-RF produced by B cells in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This result contrasts with the restricted V gene use of paraprotein IgM RF. Certain VH and VL genes, however, appear more often in RA than expected from random expression, including some of the...
