Reaction of Lectin-Specific Antibody with Human Tissue: Possible Contributions to Autoimmunity
Figure 6
Comparison in the level of IgM antibodies against six different lectins in sera negative or positive for RF by ELISA. The IgM antibody level against all six lectins was much higher in the RF-positive group than that in the RF-negative samples (). These results also showed significant correlations between IgM antibodies and lectins with elevated RF.
