OBJECTIVE To examine the relationships among specific lymphocyte antigenic reactivities of lupus sera and central nervous system complications of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), lymphocytotoxic antibody (LCA) positivity, and specific cognitive impairment. METHODS Sera from 115 patients with SLE were examined for the presence of IgM- and IgG-class autoantibodies binding to surface target antigens on lymphocytes, by immunoblotting and microdroplet lymphocytotoxicity studies. Seventy-three of these patients also underwent detailed neuropsychological testing within the same time period. RESULTS Significant associations were found between reactivities to several lymphocyte antigenic moieties and neuropsychiatric SLE (NPSLE) or cognitive impairment. Specifically, immunoblot reactivities to 31-32-kd, 50-52-kd, 54-56-kd, and 97-98-kd targets were associated with clinical NPSLE; there was a significant association between reactivity to the 50-52-kd moiety in particular and cognitive impairment. There were also associations between LCA and immunoblot reactivity. Furthermore, the previously reported association between LCA positivity and specific visuospatial cognitive impairment was confirmed with data obtained from 2 different batteries of neuropsychological tests. CONCLUSIONS In some cases, specific antigenic targets of LCA-containing sera may be implicated in the pathogenesis of NPSLE:

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008180 Lupus Erythematosus, Systemic A chronic, relapsing, inflammatory, and often febrile multisystemic disorder of connective tissue, characterized principally by involvement of the skin, joints, kidneys, and serosal membranes. It is of unknown etiology, but is thought to represent a failure of the regulatory mechanisms of the autoimmune system. The disease is marked by a wide range of system dysfunctions, an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and the formation of LE cells in the blood or bone marrow.

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
