IgA containing immune complexes in rheumatoid vasculitis and in active rheumatoid disease. 1985

M L Westedt, and M R Daha, and E de Vries, and R M Valentijn, and A Cats

Serum and synovial fluid (SF) from 68 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) were studied for the presence of immune complexes (IC) and the results correlated with extraarticular features and/or disease activity. IC were measured by the 125I Clq binding assay (ClqBA) and with one detecting IgG, IgA, C3 or C4 in IC. Disease activity correlated significantly with IgG or IgA containing and Clq binding IC. The IgA containing IC were found only in 25% of the patients, including all but one case of rheumatoid vasculitis, but otherwise only in seropositive active RA. C3 and C4 IC did not correlated with disease activity, seropositivity or vasculitis. IC in serum did not correlate with SF levels, but C4 containing IC were more frequent in SF (60%) than in serum (30%). Thus serum IC did not reflect SF levels. Patients with vasculitis showed more IC in the sera than in SF.

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
D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
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.

D003181 Complement C4 A glycoprotein that is important in the activation of CLASSICAL COMPLEMENT PATHWAY. C4 is cleaved by the activated COMPLEMENT C1S into COMPLEMENT C4A and COMPLEMENT C4B.
