Antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity in recurrent aphthous ulceration. 1981

J S Greenspan, and N Gadol, and J A Olson, and N Talal

Antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) was investigated as s possible mechanism of pathogenesis in recurrent aphthous ulceration (RAU). ADCC induced by mononuclear cells from patients at various stages of RAU was compared with ADCC induced by mononuclear cells from paired controls. Chicken red blood cells (ChRBC) coated with rabbit anti-ChRBC antibody were used as targets. A significant increase in ADCC (P less than 0.01, paired sample t-test) in patients' samples as compared with controls was found only at the early stage of the disease. No increased cytotoxicity over control values was observed at any other single stage of the disease. The transient increased cytotoxicity observed in the early stage of RAU may reflect a number of possible mechanisms, including an increased number of ADCC effector cells only at the early stage, an increase in Fc receptor avidity, or an increase in efficiency of the existing effector cell population.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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.

D000920 Antibody-Dependent Cell Cytotoxicity The phenomenon of antibody-mediated target cell destruction by non-sensitized effector cells. The identity of the target cell varies, but it must possess surface IMMUNOGLOBULIN G whose Fc portion is intact. The effector cell is a "killer" cell possessing Fc receptors. It may be a lymphocyte lacking conventional B- or T-cell markers, or a monocyte, macrophage, or polynuclear leukocyte, depending on the identity of the target cell. The reaction is complement-independent.

D013281 Stomatitis, Aphthous A recurrent disease of the oral mucosa of unknown etiology. It is characterized by small white ulcerative lesions, single or multiple, round or oval. Two to eight crops of lesions occur per year, lasting for 7 to 14 days and then heal without scarring.
