Correlation between anti-β2GPI antibody levels produced in cultures and IL-6 expression in 12 β2GPI-specific CD4+ T cells.
Anti-β2GPI antibody levels produced in cultures of individual β2GPI-specific T-cell clones plus autologous B cells are significantly correlated with amounts of IL-6 expressed on stimulation with PHA and anti-CD3 mAb (r = 0.76,P = .004).
