The earliest concepts of autoimmune disease were derived fran the recognition that certain patients with anemia produce hemolytic antibodies that react with their own red cells. As a result, subsequent studies of autoimmunity emphasized the role of antibodies to cell membrane antigens in the pathogenesis of disease. Decades later, analysis of diseases characterized by involvement of several different organ systems demnstrated the importance of circulating antigen-antibody complexes. The phlogisticpropertieso f immune CM-plexes were recognized, and models of immune complex induced vasculitis were shown to be relevant to the multisystemic involvement characteristic of diseases like systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The concepts of autoimnune disease expanded and, in fact, the role of cell and organ specific autoantibodies was deemphasized.During the past decade, the extensive analysis of the relevance of lymphocyte reactive antibodies to the clinical features of SLE (1) has lead to a renewed interest in the role of autoantibodies to cell membrane antigens in the pathogenesis of that disease. Antilymphocyte activity, by virtue of its potential for altering imne regulation, may amplify the heterogeneity, as well as the magnitude, of immune responses to other self antigens. Several studies have now documented a correlation between antilymphocyte antibody levels and overall disease activity in SLE (2-5). In addition, the amount of circulating lymphocytotoxic antibody has been associated specifically with central nervous system (CNS) and hematologic manifestations (2-6).
