Abstract excerpt
We report the first molecular characterization of V kappa regions of the main human autoantibodies occurring during rheumatoid arthritis, the polyclonal rheumatoid factors. Using two sets of polymerase chain reactions in order to amplify the cDNA derived from both peripheral blood and synovial fluid rheumatoid factor-secreting cells, nucleotide analysis of the V kappa III family usage shows the following: (a) at...
