In this paper, condylar cartilages of 10 temporomandibular joint disturbance syndrome (TMJDS) patients were studied by means of immunofluorescence and immunogold staining to clarify if there are immune complexes. We also detected the antibodies to type II collagen in synovial fluids and sera of the TMJDS patients with passive hemagglutination. Through these studies, we found: there are autoimmune responses in articular tissues in TMJDS; these responses are caused by the exposure of sequestered antigens and taken place mainly in the involved joints, and may participate in the destruction of TMJ.

D005455	Fluorescent Antibody Technique	Test for tissue antigen using either a direct method, by conjugation of antibody with fluorescent dye (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, DIRECT) or an indirect method, by formation of antigen-antibody complex which is then labeled with fluorescein-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin antibody (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, INDIRECT). The tissue is then examined by fluorescence microscopy.
