[Correction of immunoregulatory disorders in seronegative and seropositive rheumatoid arthritis]. 1985

A Sh Seĭsenbaev

A study was made of the effect of the drugs with an immunostimulant (T-activin, levamisole) and immunosuppressant (prospidin) activity on the synthesis of IgA, IgM and IgG in vitro in lymphoid cultures of 7 healthy donors, 16 patients with seropositive and 9 patients with seronegative rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It was shown that the model of the synthesis of immunoglobulins in vitro demonstrates the impairment of T-B-cell cooperation of lymphocytes in RA patients. It was establised that the effect of immunologically active drugs on the synthesis of immunoglobulins depends on the character of the drug immunotropic action and initial functional activity of the immunoregulatory T-lymphocytes. Like polyclonal mitogens, levamisole and, to a greater extent, T-activin stimulating the initially low activity of T helpers increase spontaneous synthesis of immunoglobulins in lymphoid cultures of patients with seronegative RA, whereas in seropositive RA, these drugs stimulating the initially low activity of T suppressors carrying Fc gamma-receptors inhibit this process. Prospidin inhibit the synthesis of immunoglobulins equally in both RA patterns. Indications and contraindications for administration of he immunologically active drugs on a clinical bases are discussed.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007070 Immunoglobulin A Represents 15-20% of the human serum immunoglobulins, mostly as the 4-chain polymer in humans or dimer in other mammals. Secretory IgA (IMMUNOGLOBULIN A, SECRETORY) is the main immunoglobulin in secretions. IgA,IgA Antibody,IgA1,IgA2,Antibody, IgA
D007074 Immunoglobulin G The major immunoglobulin isotype class in normal human serum. There are several isotype subclasses of IgG, for example, IgG1, IgG2A, and IgG2B. Gamma Globulin, 7S,IgG,IgG Antibody,Allerglobuline,IgG(T),IgG1,IgG2,IgG2A,IgG2B,IgG3,IgG4,Immunoglobulin GT,Polyglobin,7S Gamma Globulin,Antibody, IgG,GT, Immunoglobulin
D007075 Immunoglobulin M A class of immunoglobulin bearing mu chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN MU-CHAINS). IgM can fix COMPLEMENT. The name comes from its high molecular weight and originally was called a macroglobulin. Gamma Globulin, 19S,IgM,IgM Antibody,IgM1,IgM2,19S Gamma Globulin,Antibody, IgM
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. Globulins, Immune,Immune Globulin,Immune Globulins,Immunoglobulin,Globulin, Immune
D007978 Levamisole An antihelminthic drug that has been tried experimentally in rheumatic disorders where it apparently restores the immune response by increasing macrophage chemotaxis and T-lymphocyte function. Paradoxically, this immune enhancement appears to be beneficial in rheumatoid arthritis where dermatitis, leukopenia, and thrombocytopenia, and nausea and vomiting have been reported as side effects.

D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D010455 Peptides Members of the class of compounds composed of AMINO ACIDS joined together by peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids into linear, branched or cyclical structures. OLIGOPEPTIDES are composed of approximately 2-12 amino acids. Polypeptides are composed of approximately 13 or more amino acids. PROTEINS are considered to be larger versions of peptides that can form into complex structures such as ENZYMES and RECEPTORS. Peptide,Polypeptide,Polypeptides
D010879 Piperazines Compounds that are derived from PIPERAZINE.
D011447 Prospidium An antineoplastic dispiropiperazine derivative. Prospidin,Prospidine,Prospidium Chloride,Chloride, Prospidium
