## Abstract We have found subnormal amounts of chemotactic activity in zymosan‐treated sera from 13 of 29 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). As an explanation for this abnormality, the presence of a uniquely specific, heat‐stable inhibitor of complement (C5)‐derived chemotactic activ
Sera from 61 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) were serially screened over a period of at least 2 years for IFN and anti-IFN antibodies. IFN concentrations were measured both with a cytopathic effect assay and a more sensitive radioimmunoassay. Of the patients 15% (9/61) had IFN in th
