Evidence of platelet complement-fixing and lymphocytotoxic anti-A-1 antibodies. 1975

W Gross, and D Heinrich, and P Walker, and K Mersch-Baumert, and C Mueller-Eckhardt

3 human antisera exhibiting non HL-A specific antibody were studied in micro-complement fixation with platelets and micro-lymphocytotoxicity. Screening studies as well as absorption and elution studies with platelets, lymphocytes and erythrocytes revealed an antibody activity associated with blood group A-1. Within blood group A-1, a subpopulation of A-1 donor cells- provisionally called "weak A-1" - was defined, which had a minor ability for complement-fixing and lymphocytotoxic A-1-antibody absorption. Contrary to HL-A specific antibodies, acid eluates from platelets of these 3 sera were always negative whereas heat and ether eluates gave positive results. From neutralization studies and studies on the hemolytic activity against A-1 erythrocytes it was concluded, that the A-1-specific antibodies probably are immune antibodies belonging to the IgG class of immunoglobulins.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell
D008297 Male Males
D009500 Neutralization Tests The measurement of infection-blocking titer of ANTISERA by testing a series of dilutions for a given virus-antiserum interaction end-point, which is generally the dilution at which tissue cultures inoculated with the serum-virus mixtures demonstrate cytopathology (CPE) or the dilution at which 50% of test animals injected with serum-virus mixtures show infectivity (ID50) or die (LD50).

D001789 Blood Group Antigens Sets of cell surface antigens located on BLOOD CELLS. They are usually membrane GLYCOPROTEINS or GLYCOLIPIDS that are antigenically distinguished by their carbohydrate moieties.

D003165 Complement System Proteins Serum glycoproteins participating in the host defense mechanism of COMPLEMENT ACTIVATION that creates the COMPLEMENT MEMBRANE ATTACK COMPLEX. Included are glycoproteins in the various pathways of complement activation (CLASSICAL COMPLEMENT PATHWAY; ALTERNATIVE COMPLEMENT PATHWAY; and LECTIN COMPLEMENT PATHWAY).

D003168 Complement Fixation Tests Serologic tests based on inactivation of complement by the antigen-antibody complex (stage 1). Binding of free complement can be visualized by addition of a second antigen-antibody system such as red cells and appropriate red cell antibody (hemolysin) requiring complement for its completion (stage 2). Failure of the red cells to lyse indicates that a specific antigen-antibody reaction has taken place in stage 1. If red cells lyse, free complement is present indicating no antigen-antibody reaction occurred in stage 1.
