[Immunologic disturbances in psoriatic arthropathy (author's transl)]. 1979

J Sany, and J Clot, and J J Guilhou, and H Serre

It was observed in 51 cases of psoriatic arthropathy (PA) an increase of blood IgA and a decrease of IgM, a not significant rise of the level of circulating immune complexes, a positive Waaler-Rose reaction in 9.7% of cases and the presence of antigammaglobulin factors (generally of IgG type) in 55,5% of studied patients. Moreover, it was noted a significant decrease of T lymphocytes as detected by E and "active" E rosettes, of EA-gamma rosettes (ox erythrocytes) and an increase of the percentage of high avidity Fc-gamma receptor bearing cells. Lymphocytes responses to mitogens were normal or slightly decreased for Concanavalin A. No correlation was found between the immunological data and the clinical features.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007136 Immunoglobulins Multi-subunit proteins which function in IMMUNITY. They are produced by B LYMPHOCYTES from the IMMUNOGLOBULIN GENES. They are comprised of two heavy (IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAINS) and two light chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAINS) with additional ancillary polypeptide chains depending on their isoforms. The variety of isoforms include monomeric or polymeric forms, and transmembrane forms (B-CELL ANTIGEN RECEPTORS) or secreted forms (ANTIBODIES). They are divided by the amino acid sequence of their heavy chains into five classes (IMMUNOGLOBULIN A; IMMUNOGLOBULIN D; IMMUNOGLOBULIN E; IMMUNOGLOBULIN G; IMMUNOGLOBULIN M) and various subclasses.

D011565 Psoriasis A common genetically determined, chronic, inflammatory skin disease characterized by rounded erythematous, dry, scaling patches. The lesions have a predilection for nails, scalp, genitalia, extensor surfaces, and the lumbosacral region. Accelerated epidermopoiesis is considered to be the fundamental pathologic feature in psoriasis.

D013601 T-Lymphocytes Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Two types have been identified - cytotoxic (T-LYMPHOCYTES, CYTOTOXIC) and helper T-lymphocytes (T-LYMPHOCYTES, HELPER-INDUCER). They are formed when lymphocytes circulate through the THYMUS GLAND and differentiate to thymocytes. When exposed to an antigen, they divide rapidly and produce large numbers of new T cells sensitized to that antigen.
