The complete nucleotide sequences of the heavy chain variable regions of six monospecific rheumatoid factors derived from Epstein-Barr virus-transformed B cells isolated from the synovial tissue of patients with rheumatoid arthritis

The following errors have been discovered by the authors: In the second column of page 1323, at the end of the first paragraph, the sentence "On the other hand, RF-KL1 is the only VHIH RF in this study that does not express the VHII-related idiotypes identified by the mAb B6 and D12," should read ".... RF-KL1, together with RF-TS2, are the only VHIII RFs...., In Fig. 3 A, amino acid residues 85 and 89 for RF-SJ1 should be "ACG' and "GAT," respectively, rather than "GAC" and "ACT."In Fig. 3 B, amino acid residues number 22 and 28 for GL-SJ2 should be "C" and "T," respectively, rather than "T" and " G,'" In Fig. 4, amino acid residues number 47 and 58 in GL-SJ2 should be "TGG" and "GCA," respectively, instead of "TAG" and "GTA."In Fig. 5, amino acid residue number 54 for RF-SJ2 should be "Y" rather than "E."
