Other subjects are the beneficial effects of green tea polyphenols for Sjogren's syndrome, Coxsackievirus B3-induced autoimmune heart disease, autoantibody profiles of an asbestos-exposed population, and shared variable domain elements among anti-collagen antibodies reactive with Goodpasture epitopes.
