Fc receptor mediated immune complex clearance function was measured in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. Autologous erythrocytes were sensitized by human IgG anti-Rh(D) and used as immune complex model. An impaired Fc receptor function was demonstrable in 20 of 25 investigated patients. We have found a significant correlation between the seriousness of the defect and the step of the immunologic activity of the patients, but not between the impaired Fc receptor function and clinical activity and renal manifestation in our SLE patients. Further studies are necessary to determine the relevance of this phenomenon and to clear the possibility of therapeutical influence.

D007963 Leukocytes, Mononuclear Mature LYMPHOCYTES and MONOCYTES transported by the blood to the body's extravascular space. They are morphologically distinguishable from mature granulocytic leukocytes by their large, non-lobed nuclei and lack of coarse, heavily stained cytoplasmic granules. Mononuclear Leukocyte,Mononuclear Leukocytes,PBMC Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells,Peripheral Blood Human Mononuclear Cells,Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cell,Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells,Leukocyte, Mononuclear
D008180 Lupus Erythematosus, Systemic A chronic, relapsing, inflammatory, and often febrile multisystemic disorder of connective tissue, characterized principally by involvement of the skin, joints, kidneys, and serosal membranes. It is of unknown etiology, but is thought to represent a failure of the regulatory mechanisms of the autoimmune system. The disease is marked by a wide range of system dysfunctions, an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and the formation of LE cells in the blood or bone marrow.
