Increase of IgA-bearing lymphocytes in peripheral blood from patients with IgA nephropathy. 1979

Y Nomoto, and H Sakai, and S Arimori

Aberration of IgA-bearing B lymphocytes in patients with IgA nephropathy has been investigated. Twelve patients with IgA nephropathy demonstrated a marked increase of IgA-bearing lymphocytes in peripheral blood, while ten patients with chronic proliferative glomerulonephritis without mesangial deposition of IgA showed normal amounts of IgA-bearing lymphocytes. The increase of IgA-bearing lymphocytes reflected that of IgA-producing lymphocytes, since lymphocytes obtained from patients with IgA nephropathy restored a high percentage of IgA-bearing cells in vitro after treatment with trypsin. Quantitation of IgA-bearing lymphocytes in peripheral blood is a useful method for screening of patients with IgA nephropathy.

D008934 Mitogens Substances that stimulate mitosis and lymphocyte transformation. They include not only substances associated with LECTINS, but also substances from streptococci (associated with streptolysin S) and from strains of alpha-toxin-producing staphylococci. (Stedman, 25th ed) Mitogen,Phytomitogen,Phytomitogens
D002908 Chronic Disease Diseases which have one or more of the following characteristics: they are permanent, leave residual disability, are caused by nonreversible pathological alteration, require special training of the patient for rehabilitation, or may be expected to require a long period of supervision, observation, or care (Dictionary of Health Services Management, 2d ed). For epidemiological studies chronic disease often includes HEART DISEASES; STROKE; CANCER; and diabetes (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 2).

D005921 Glomerulonephritis Inflammation of the renal glomeruli (KIDNEY GLOMERULUS) that can be classified by the type of glomerular injuries including antibody deposition, complement activation, cellular proliferation, and glomerulosclerosis.
