Anti-type II collagen antibodies in rheumatoid arthritis. The influence of HLA phenotype. 1984

P H Wooley, and H S Luthra, and J D O'Duffy, and T W Bunch, and S B Moore, and J M Stuart

Antibodies to native chick and bovine Type II collagen were measured by radio immunoassay, in 83 rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and 14 normal controls. Anti-chick Type II collagen and anti-bovine Type II collagen antibodies were found in 48% and 43% of RA patients, respectively. A strong correlation of antibodies to chick and antibodies to bovine collagen was described, suggesting cross-reactivity between different collagen species. There was an association between the presence of anti-native Type II collagen antibody and the expression of HLA-DR2. It is suggested that the production of anti-collagen antibody may be under genetic control in RA, but not associated with the major genetic marker of disease susceptibility, HLA-DR4.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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
D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation. Radioimmunoassays

D006684 HLA-DR Antigens A subclass of HLA-D antigens that consist of alpha and beta chains. The inheritance of HLA-DR antigens differs from that of the HLA-DQ ANTIGENS and HLA-DP ANTIGENS. HLA-DR,Antigens, HLA-DR,HLA DR Antigens

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D000906 Antibodies Immunoglobulin molecules having a specific amino acid sequence by virtue of which they interact only with the ANTIGEN (or a very similar shape) that induced their synthesis in cells of the lymphoid series (especially PLASMA CELLS).
