Studies on secretory component in digestive disease. IV. Levels of serum secretory component in liver disease. 1980

K Kunishi, and T Arima, and T Yasuhara, and J Narumoto, and K Suwaki, and H Nagashima

The levels of serum secretory component (SC), immunoglobulins, rheumatoid factor, HBs-antigen and HBs-antibody were determined in patients with liver disease, especially chronic liver disease. In chronic liver disease, decreases in serum SC were accompanied by increases in the titer of rheumatoid factor. Patients with chronic liver disease and HBs-antigen or HBs-antibody had decreased levels of serum SC compared to seronegative patients. There was no correlation between the levels of serum SC and immunoglobulin in patients with chronic liver disease.

D007128 Immunoglobulin Fragments Partial immunoglobulin molecules resulting from selective cleavage by proteolytic enzymes or generated through PROTEIN ENGINEERING techniques. Antibody Fragment,Antibody Fragments,Ig Fragment,Ig Fragments,Immunoglobulin Fragment,Fragment, Antibody,Fragment, Ig,Fragment, Immunoglobulin,Fragments, Antibody,Fragments, Ig,Fragments, Immunoglobulin
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. Globulins, Immune,Immune Globulin,Immune Globulins,Immunoglobulin,Globulin, Immune
