Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus developed in an 18 yr old man 3 yr after thymectomy for myasthenia gravis. The patient had considerable defects in suppressor cell function that seemed to be partially reversed in vitro by the addition of thymic hormone [thymic serum factor].This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
