Abstract
The autologous mixed lymphocyte reaction is impaired in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. This is because nonthymus-derived (T)-lymphocyte preparations from such patients do not stimulate autologous T-lymphocyte proliferation normally. This defect may explain the impaired generation of suppressor activity in systemic lupus erythematosus and thereby the occurrence of autoantibodies in this disease.Entities:
