Abstract excerpt
This study explores the usage and diversity of the variable gene elements expressed by human lupus antibodies to DNA bearing the 0-81 idiotype, a marker of pathogenic anti-DNA autoantibodies. Rather than studying DNA-specific clonotypes from different patients, a panel of idiotype positive anti-DNA autoantibody-secreting clones from a single individual were analysed. By cloning and nucleotide-sequencing the...
