Cardiolipin antibodies are detected in the sera from patients having a wide range of clinical manifestations, including venous and arterial thrombosis, obstetric abnormality, damaged CHS and diseased vascular wall. To clarify the clinical value of cardiolipin antibodies, 21 patients with non-specific aortic arteritis were studied. The antibodies were determined by enzyme immunoassay. Their higher levels were found in 5 (24%) patients. The patients who were positive for cardiolipin antibodies showed a significant increase in the incidence of occlusive lesions (p less than 0.001) and a moderate increase in that of valvular heart diseases. The findings suggest that cardiolipin antibodies might contribute to the pathogenesis of non-specific of aortic arteritis.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D002308 Cardiolipins Acidic phospholipids composed of two molecules of phosphatidic acid covalently linked to a molecule of glycerol. They occur primarily in mitochondrial inner membranes and in bacterial plasma membranes. They are the main antigenic components of the Wassermann-type antigen that is used in nontreponemal SYPHILIS SERODIAGNOSIS. Cardiolipin,Diphosphatidylglycerol,Diphosphatidylglycerols
D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed. ELISA,Assay, Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent,Assays, Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent,Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay,Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assays,Immunosorbent Assay, Enzyme-Linked,Immunosorbent Assays, Enzyme-Linked
