Abstract excerpt
We have previously demonstrated decreased complement-mediated clearance of IgG-opsonized erythrocytes in mice homozygous for the lpr mutation of the fas gene (BALB/c-lpr/lpr, C57BL/6-lpr/lpr, and MRL-lpr/lpr). To further test the hypothesis that the lpr mutation leads to a series of events resulting in selectively decreased complement-mediated immune clearance, in vivo clearance rate data were obtained from...
