Table 1.

Proliferative responses of PBMCs from healthy subjects or subjects with SLE to CT-DNA or PHA as measured by [³H]-TdR incorporation expressed as SI

PBMCs = Peripheral blood mononuclear cells; SLE = systemic lupus erythematosus; CT-DNA = calf thymus mammalian double-stranded DNA; PHA = phytohemagglutinin; [³H]-TdR = tritiated thymidine; SI = stimulation index.

*The concentration of CT-DNA used was 10 μg/mL and, of PHA, was 10 μg/mL.
