Restriction in the repertoire of detectable autoantibodies in polyclonal B cell activations and the mimicry of autoantigens by idiotopes
Despite the existence of erythrocyte-autoreactive B cells in normal animals, erythrocyte-autoantibodies could not be detected during polyclonal B-cell activation (PBA) both in patients with visceral leishmaniasis and in bacterial lipopolysacharide (LPS) - injected mice.
