[Immunological investigation in primary open angle glaucoma (author's transl)]. 1982

T M Radda, and J Menzel, and P Drobec, and W Aberer

It is a matter of discussion in literature, if autoimmunological processes are involved in the pathogenesis of primary open angle glaucoma. Therefore we determined circulating Clq binding immune complexes, collagen antibodies, antinuclear antibodies and anit-nDNA-antibodies in the sera of patients with this disease. The result of our investigation and of recent papers lead to the conclusion that autoimmunological processes- are not involved in the pathogenesis of primary open angel glaucoma.

D003172 Complement C1 The first complement component to act in the activation of CLASSICAL COMPLEMENT PATHWAY. It is a calcium-dependent trimolecular complex made up of three subcomponents: COMPLEMENT C1Q; COMPLEMENT C1R; and COMPLEMENT C1S at 1:2:2 ratios. When the intact C1 binds to at least two antibodies (involving C1q), C1r and C1s are sequentially activated, leading to subsequent steps in the cascade of COMPLEMENT ACTIVATION.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
