  1. Assignments are based on highest percent nucleotide sequence homology. RF, rheumatoid factor; FL, fetal liver; CLL, chronic lymphocytic leukemia; TS Ab, thyroid stimulating antibody from a patient with Graves’ disease; anti-TG, anti-thyroglobulin antibody.
  2. aClones previously reported (20) (accession numbers L06910-L06913, L06915-L06924). Accession numbers for remaining sequences are U64432, U64466-U64508.
  3. bClones S5P14 and S4P12 are 95% homologous to each other (Fig. 5B).
