Kinetic analysis of the blood clearance and organ uptake curves of IgG-coated red cells in HLA-typed controls and patients with Wegener's granulomatosis. 1986

F J van der Woude, and H Beekhuis, and J M Beelen, and T H The

Reticuloendothelial function and HLA type were studied in 22 controls and 15 patients with Wegener's granulomatosis (WG). IgG-coated red cells were injected intravenously and half-life times of blood disappearance and liver spleen uptake curves were related to the degree of antibody coating. Erythrocytes with 13,990 molecules of IgG per cell gave biexponential blood disappearance curves and were suitable for measuring splenic reticuloendothelial function. Half-life times thus obtained were not significantly different for individuals with the HLA-DR2 or DR3 phenotype. In WG patients with major disease activity, blood clearance of the injected cells was considerably decreased. Kinetic analysis of blood disappearance and spleen uptake curves revealed that this was partly due to a decrease in reversible trapping of the cells in the spleen. This suggests that a blocking effect of circulating immune complexes on splenic Fc receptors is not likely to be the sole cause of the observed hyposplenism.

D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.

D006650 Histocompatibility Testing Identification of the major histocompatibility antigens of transplant DONORS and potential recipients, usually by serological tests. Donor and recipient pairs should be of identical ABO blood group, and in addition should be matched as closely as possible for HISTOCOMPATIBILITY ANTIGENS in order to minimize the likelihood of allograft rejection.

D006680 HLA Antigens Antigens determined by leukocyte loci found on chromosome 6, the major histocompatibility loci in humans. They are polypeptides or glycoproteins found on most nucleated cells and platelets, determine tissue types for transplantation, and are associated with certain diseases.
