Studies on immune complexes in rheumatoid arthritis. 1978

T Nishimaki, and K Kano, and F Milgrom

Sera and synovial fluids of patients with rheumatoid arthritis were studied for immune complexes by means of the anti-antibody inhibition test; approximately 40% of these specimens were shown to contain immune complexes. To study the nature of antigens participating in the formation of complexes under investigation, the anti-antibody inhibition test was repeated after addition of various soluble antigens to the complex-positive rheumatoid arthritis sera. This resulted in conversion of some sera from inhibitory to noninhibitory. It was found that of 15 positive rheumatoid arthritis sera, 7 had complexes formed by heterophile, Hanganutziu-Deicher antigen and of 12 positive sera tested, 2 had complexes formed by human IgG.

At equilibrium each particle settles in the gradient at a point equal to its density.

D001172 Arthritis, Rheumatoid A chronic systemic disease, primarily of the joints, marked by inflammatory changes in the synovial membranes and articular structures, widespread fibrinoid degeneration of the collagen fibers in mesenchymal tissues, and by atrophy and rarefaction of bony structures. Etiology is unknown, but autoimmune mechanisms have been implicated. Rheumatoid Arthritis
