Circulating immune complexes containing secretory IgA in jejunoileal bypass disease. 1985

D O Clegg, and J J Zone, and C O Samuelson, and J R Ward

Thirteen patients were studied after jejunoileal bypass (JIB) surgery. Seven developed arthritis and six did not. Circulating immune complexes containing IgG and IgA were detected in the sera of patients with and without arthritis. IgA complexes were shown to contain secretory component, a protein predominantly associated with intraluminal IgA, in significantly higher levels in patients with arthritis. Analytical ultracentrifugation showed complexes of approximately 10 X 8S, consistent with the size of secretory IgA. Arthritis after JIB appears to be associated with circulating immune complexes containing secretory IgA.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007071 Immunoglobulin A, Secretory The principle immunoglobulin in exocrine secretions such as milk, respiratory and intestinal mucin, saliva and tears. The complete molecule (around 400 kD) is composed of two four-chain units of IMMUNOGLOBULIN A, one SECRETORY COMPONENT and one J chain (IMMUNOGLOBULIN J-CHAINS).

D009765 Obesity A status with BODY WEIGHT that is grossly above the recommended standards, usually due to accumulation of excess FATS in the body. The standards may vary with age, sex, genetic or cultural background. In the BODY MASS INDEX, a BMI greater than 30.0 kg/m2 is considered obese, and a BMI greater than 40.0 kg/m2 is considered morbidly obese (MORBID OBESITY).
D011183 Postoperative Complications Pathologic processes that affect patients after a surgical procedure. They may or may not be related to the disease for which the surgery was done, and they may or may not be direct results of the surgery.
