Lack of hidden complement fixing IgM rheumatoid factor in adult seronegative rheumatoid arthritis.
IgM rheumatoid factors capable of complement fixation and activation are commonly present in the sera of adults with rheumatoid arthritis. Hidden complement fixing IgM rheumatoid factor has been demonstrated in the majority of patients with juvenile RA and hidden agglutinating IgM rheumatoid factors have been demonstrated in the serum of adults with seronegative rheumatoid arthritis. We studied...
متن کاملHidden 19S IgM rheumatoid factor in adults with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis onset.
Forty-eight adult patients with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) (onset before age 16 years) were evaluated at the age of 17 years or more for the presence of hidden 19S IgM rheumatoid factors (RF), i.e., 19S IgM RF that can be detected by the complement-dependent haemolytic assay in the IgM-containing fraction after separation of the serum by acid gel filtration. The average age of the pati...

متن کاملAntiperinuclear factor in juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.
The serological diagnosis of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) is difficult, with only 7-10% of patients 19S IgM rheumatoid factor positive. About 60-70% of patients are positive for hidden 19S IgM rheumatoid factor, but this test requires serum separation and is not available in most laboratories. Antiperinuclear factor has been described in both seropositive and seronegative adult patients ...
متن کاملAnticardiolipin Antibodies in Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background: Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS) can either occur as a primary syndrome or associated with other autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Anticardiolipin antibody (aCL) of IgG and/or IgM isotype in blood, measured by a standardized ELISA is the most acceptable laboratory criteria. APS IgG isotype, particularly IgG2 subclass is more strongly associated ...
