Cell-mediated autoimmunity in NZB mice

Stiller, C. R., Russell, A. S., McConnachie, P., Dossetor, J. B., Diener, E.

NZB mice spontaneously develop immune-complex nephritis comparable to that of human systemic lupus erythematosus in which the principal immunologic mechanism is thought to be humoral. A prominent...

An antibody to isogeneic fibroblasts in the serum of diseased NZB mice

Liburd, E., Russell, A. S., Dossetor, J. B.

We have described a new autoantibody present in the serum of diseased NZB mice reactive with autochthonous and syngeneic fibroblasts. Allogeneic cells are not affected. This antibody can be...

A New Method of Intestinal Perfusion for the Management of Chronic Renal Failure: A Preliminary Report

Taguchi, Y., MacKinnon, K. J., Helle, S., Dossetor, J. B.

Usefulness of intestinal perfusion in the treatment of uremia is limited by (a) low clearances, (b) atrophy of the perfused mucous membrane, and (c) poor toleration by the patient. A method of...
