[Cellular and humoral immune phenomena in psoriatic arthritis]. 1983

The function of cellular immunity factors (lymphocyte transformation and phagocytosis by polymorphonuclear leucocytes [PMN] and monocytes in connection with the concentration of intracellular ATP) and humoral immunity factors (serum concentration of immunoglobulin and complement factors C'3 and C'4) was investigated in 16 controls, 21 patients with psoriatic arthritis and 19 with psoriasis vulgaris. The results were compared with the clinical and anamnestic data of the patients. PMN phagocytosis of zymosan opsonized with rabbit standard serum was decreased in psoriasis vulgaris in comparison with the controls. Also, monocyte phagocytosis of non-opsonized zymosan was decreased in psoriatic arthritis, as compared with psoriasis vulgaris. Furthermore, in PMNs intracellular ATP was elevated in psoriatic arthritis as compared with the controls, but decreased in comparison with patients with psoriasis vulgaris. The intracellular ATP in monocytes was decreased in psoriasis vulgaris as compared with the controls. Humoral immunological findings: serum IgG concentration was higher in psoriatic arthritis than in controls and in psoriasis vulgaris. Elevated C'3 and decreased C'4 serum concentrations in psoriatic arthritis indicate an activation of the complement system.

D007111 Immunity, Cellular Manifestations of the immune response which are mediated by antigen-sensitized T-lymphocytes via lymphokines or direct cytotoxicity. This takes place in the absence of circulating antibody or where antibody plays a subordinate role.

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.

D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.

D010587 Phagocytosis The engulfing and degradation of microorganisms; other cells that are dead, dying, or pathogenic; and foreign particles by phagocytic cells (PHAGOCYTES). Phagocytoses
D011565 Psoriasis A common genetically determined, chronic, inflammatory skin disease characterized by rounded erythematous, dry, scaling patches. The lesions have a predilection for nails, scalp, genitalia, extensor surfaces, and the lumbosacral region. Accelerated epidermopoiesis is considered to be the fundamental pathologic feature in psoriasis.
