Abstract
The erythrocytes of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus have been shown to have a decreased number of receptors for the major cleavage fragment of the third component of complement (C3b). We studied the basis for this decreased number of C3b receptors by measuring the uptake of anti-C3b-receptor antibody on cells from 113 normal subjects, 38 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, 14 of their spouses, and 47 of their relatives.This publication has 36 references indexed in Scilit:
