We studied the composition of tissue-bound immunoglobulins and of antinuclear factors by immunofluorescent techniques in five patients with systemic lupus and two with chronic liver disease associated with positive LE cell tests. Renal glomeruli in all seven demonstrated deposits of bound γG-globulin and complement, although the presence of γA- and γM-immunoglobulins was variable. Blood vessel walls contained primarily γG-globulin and complement in the systemic lupus patients, but such deposits were absent from vessels in the two with chronic liver disease.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
