thanx Eye-wink



nice one, thanx
i read sth that i did not undestand about APS, WHICH IS:
B-2 glycoprotein-1 is the cofactor necessary 4 the activity of anticardiolipin antibodies; some patients with APS have only anti B-2 glycoproteine -1 antibodies.
(medstudy 6-14)

so if the B-2 glycoprotein-1 is necessary 4 the anticardiolipin antibodies, then why their antibodies (B-2 glycoprotein-1 antibodies) r found in APS, and sometimes r the only antibodies found.

hope i could make my point clear
