Lymphocytes binding C-reactive protein and streptococcal membranes in acute rheumatic fever. 1980

R C Williams, and I van de Rijn, and F Mahros, and Z H Abdin, and H Reid, and T Poon-King

Peripheral blood lymphocytes binding CRP and streptococcal membrane antigens were studied in 19 patients with ARF with the use of a number of paired analyses for cell surface markers. A small fraction (6.9%) of T cells showed binding to streptococcal membrane. A large degree of overlap (38% to 46%) occurred in membrane-binding T cells and those with identifiable CRP. One third of T gamma cells showed CRP bindings, and approximately one quarter to T gamma cells in both ARF patients and normal controls showed membrane la antigen. A considerable concordance (50% to 75%) was noted between T cells binding streptococcal membrane and cells positive for la antigen. In contrast to T cells, B cells bearing CRP showed less overlap (mean 11%) with cells binding streptococcal membrane. Since B cells with concomitant surface immunoglobulin and la antigen constituted the major lymphocyte subpopulation binding streptococcal membrane antigens, relative exclusion of streptococcal membrane binding by B cells with surface CRP may represent natural protective modulation whereby proportions of potential antigen-binding B cells are defused by lymphocyte membrane CRP.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell
D011947 Receptors, Antigen, B-Cell IMMUNOGLOBULINS on the surface of B-LYMPHOCYTES. Their MESSENGER RNA contains an EXON with a membrane spanning sequence, producing immunoglobulins in the form of type I transmembrane proteins as opposed to secreted immunoglobulins (ANTIBODIES) which do not contain the membrane spanning segment.

D011948 Receptors, Antigen, T-Cell Molecules on the surface of T-lymphocytes that recognize and combine with antigens. The receptors are non-covalently associated with a complex of several polypeptides collectively called CD3 antigens (CD3 COMPLEX). Recognition of foreign antigen and the major histocompatibility complex is accomplished by a single heterodimeric antigen-receptor structure, composed of either alpha-beta (RECEPTORS, ANTIGEN, T-CELL, ALPHA-BETA) or gamma-delta (RECEPTORS, ANTIGEN, T-CELL, GAMMA-DELTA) chains.

D002097 C-Reactive Protein A plasma protein that circulates in increased amounts during inflammation and after tissue damage. C-Reactive Protein measured by more sensitive methods often for coronary heart disease risk assessment is referred to as High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP).

D012213 Rheumatic Fever A febrile disease occurring as a delayed sequela of infections with STREPTOCOCCUS PYOGENES. It is characterized by multiple focal inflammatory lesions of the connective tissue structures, such as the heart, blood vessels, and joints (POLYARTHRITIS) and brain, and by the presence of ASCHOFF BODIES in the myocardium and skin.
