To examine autoantibodies present in patients with active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), sera, circulating immune comptexes (CIC), and antibodies purified on DNA-immunoadsorbent were tested by enzyme immunoassay. A panel of self-antigens, including DNA, histones (HIS), glomerular basal membrane
Decreased interleukin-2 (IL-2) production by lymphocytes in vitro has previously been demonstrated in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). In the present study, we examined whether inhibitory factors in SLE patient sera are involved in defective IL-2 production. Our results indicate tha
