Antinuclear antibodies in juvenile chronic arthritis. 1978

H Permin, and S Hørbov, and A Wiik, and J V Knudsen

One hundred patients with juvenile chronic arthritis (JCA) were studied with respect to granulocyte-specific and organ-nonspecific antinuclear antibodies (GS- and ON-ANA) in relation to clinical features of disease. Seventy-two were girls and 28 boys. Sixty-seven patients had IgG ANA, 31 IgM, 10 IgA, 6 IgD, 19 IgE and 35 had ANA, which fixed complement C3. Sixteen of 17 sera containing IgG GS-ANA were from girls. The prevalence of IgG GS-ANA increased with the number of joints affected. No patient with the acute febrile type of the disease had IgG GS-ANA or CS fixing ANA. The prevalence of IgG ON-ANA did not differ significantly in the mono-, pauci-, polyarticular and acute febrile types of JCA. Patients showing clinical activity more frequently had IgG and IgM ANA and C3 fixing ANA. The high titers of ANA were most often seen in girls. Chronic uveitis occurred in 10 of the patients and IgG ANA were present in sera from all of these.

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.

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.

D003176 Complement C3 A glycoprotein that is central in both the classical and the alternative pathway of COMPLEMENT ACTIVATION. C3 can be cleaved into COMPLEMENT C3A and COMPLEMENT C3B, spontaneously at low level or by C3 CONVERTASE at high level. The smaller fragment C3a is an ANAPHYLATOXIN and mediator of local inflammatory process. The larger fragment C3b binds with C3 convertase to form C5 convertase.
