Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) produce excessive amounts of autoantibodies. It has also been demonstrated in several systems that such patients have a relative loss of suppressor thymus-derived (T) cells that inhibit the immune response. This loss of suppressor cells has been suggested as one of the causes of the excessive production of antibodies in patients with SLE.

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.
