Notes:
Abstract Purified C-reactive protein induces the production of autoantibodies to lipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins in animals. This is due to a C-reactive protein idiotype that permits the, interference of C-reactive protein in the idiotype-anti-idiotypical immunological reactions and stimulation of autoimmune response to lipoproteins.
