Failure to detect immune complexes in the secondary stage of pityriasis rosea. 1983

H Mobacken, and L M Bjursten, and G B Löwhagen, and L A Nilsson

Thirty-three patients with pityriasis rosea were studied with regard to the possible presence of circulating and cutaneously deposited immune complexes. The levels of circulating immune complexes, determined by a solid-phase C1q-binding assay, were not different from those of healthy control individuals. The levels were similar in samples obtained during the initial and during the remission stages of the disease. Cutaneous deposits of immunoglobulin and/or complement were found in only 5 of 33 patients. This study does not support of concept that circulating immune complexes are important for the development of the secondary skin lesions in pityriasis rosea.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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.
