Infection of Autoreactive B Lymphocytes with EBV
... Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have an abnormally increased frequency of circulating EBV-infected B cells 12. This is not due to an increased uptake of virus by B cells but could be explained by the defective control of infected B cells by EBVspecific T cells 12. A similar defect is also pr ...

The Body`s Defenses Against Disease and Injury

This determines compatibility of tissues and organs that will be grafted or transplanted from a donor. Blood Group Antigens More than 8 ...
