Placenta-eluted gamma globulins (PEGG) have been recently and successfully used in the treatment of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. PEGG, eluted at acid pH from large pools of human placentas, contained 99% IgG material. Sephacryl S300 gel filtration revealed a main fraction (76%) of native IgG

## Abstract ## Objective To prospectively investigate the effect of the DERAAβencoding HLA alleles on disease susceptibility and severity in a large cohort of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and to differentiate protective effects from nonpredisposition by comparing subgroups of patients
## Objective: To evaluate the contributions of hla-dq and -dr polymorphisms to susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis (ra) in a population in southern spain, and to compare the value of the shared epitope (se) and ra protection (rap) models in accounting for the hla class ii region's contribution t
Signal transduction via HLA class-ll antigens has been studied using human resting B lymphocytes and monoclonal anti-HLA class-ll antibodies. An increased intracellular calcium flux, phosphatidylinositol biphosphate hydrolysis and activation of protein kinase C have all been observed following signa
Objective. In Northern Europeans, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is strongly associated with a relatively conserved pentapeptide sequence of HLA-DRP found notably in the HLA-DR4 subtypes Dw4 and Dw14 and in DRl. A previous serologic study of HLA class I1 polymorphism in a Greek population with RA failed
