Thyrocyte HLA-DR Expression and Interferon-γProduction in Autoimmune Thyroid Disease*
Abstract
We examined the expression of HLA-DR antigen induced by mitogen, mitogen-free supernatants from mitogen-stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), or autologous and allogeneic PBMC on thyrocytes cultured for 1-2 weeks (precultured) before the addition of the stimulant. Leucoagglutinin (LAG) and concanavalin A, but not lipopolysaccharide induced HLA-DR expression on thyrocytes from normal subjects (NC) and patients with Graves' …
