TLDR
Lymphocytes of eleven normal subjects were studied with autoradiographic techniques for the presence of cells which bind human 125 I-thyroglobulin (Tg) and identified primarily as B lymphocytes in four patients by their marked or complete depletion after passage through this column.

Role of aberrant hla-dr expression and antigen presentation in induction of endocrine autoimmunity

TL;DR: This mechanism of autoimmune disease induction explains vague associations with viral infections and long latency periods before disease becomes manifest and gives a simple explanation for the well-documented association between HLA-DR and autoimmune diseases in man.
Journal ArticleDOI

Organ-specific autoimmune diseases induced in mice by elimination of T cell subset. I. Evidence for the active participation of T cells in natural self-tolerance; deficit of a T cell subset as a possible cause of autoimmune disease

TL;DR: The autoimmune disease induced in nude mice was quite similar to human organ-specific autoimmune disease in terms of the spectrum of organs involved, histopathological features, and the development of autoantibodies to corresponding organ components.
Journal ArticleDOI

Etiopathogenesis of Murine SLE1

TL;DR: The prevailing current concept is that self-recognition processes, essential to immune and possibly other physiologic systems, are normally controlled or suppressed by one or more mechanisms that counteract deleterious autoreactive consequences.

Ionizing radiation and the immune response.

TL;DR: This chapter considers the interrelationships between radiation and the various components of the immune response from three perspectives: the effect of irradiation on normal lymphoid tissues and on isolated lymphocytes, the effect on antibody production, transplantation immunity, and other forms of cellular immunity.
Book ChapterDOI

Membrane immunoglobulins and antigen receptors on B and T lymphocytes.

TL;DR: There are several qualitative and quantitative distinctions between T-cell and B-cell M-Ig that may explain many of the apparent differences in reactivity of these cells without requiring the existence of a different set of V genes or non-IG receptors in T cells.

The clonal selection theory of acquired immunity

F. M. Burnet
TL;DR: The clonal selection theory of acquired immunity is studied as a theory of selection for immunity in the context of infectious disease.

A receptor for antibody on b lymphocytes : i. method of detection and functional significance

TL;DR: It was proposed that the existence of a receptor of this kind may provide a rational explanation for antibody-dependent killing of target cells and may prove of importance in antigen concentration particularly during the secondary response.
