Soluble interleukin 2 receptors in autoimmune chronic active hepatitis.
Children with uncontrolled autoimmune chronic active hepatitis have increased numbers of activated T lymphocytes expressing interleukin 2 receptors (IL2R). A soluble form of IL2R has recently been described whose proposed role is to downregulate T cell activation by competing for interleukin 2. We investigated whether a deficiency of soluble IL2R could account for the high concentrations of IL2...
متن کاملAutoimmune chronic active hepatitis in a family.
A positive family history of autoimmune disease is common among patients with autoimmune chronic active hepatitis, but usually autoimmunity is directed at organs other than the liver. We document for the first time the multiple occurrence of autoimmune chronic active hepatitis in a family. Out of a sibship of seven, three sisters developed this, one sister developed coeliac and autoimmune thyro...
متن کاملSoluble interleukin-2 receptors in ulcerative colitis
T-Cell activation results in the release or shedding of a soluble form (45 kDa) of the cellular (55 kDa) low-affinity interleukin-2 receptor (alpha-chain) (slL-2R). The present study was performed to investigate if the serum concentration of sIL-2R is a marker of disease activity in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC), a chronic inflammatory bowel disease. Twenty-seven UC patients (about half...
متن کاملActive chronic hepatitis: Part 2.
THE belief that an immunological mechanism is involved in the chronic inflammatory process in the liver led to the use of corticotrophin and corticosteroid therapy for active chronic hepatitis as early as the 1950's (Waldenstrom 1950, Bearn, Kunkel and Slater 1956, Mackay, Taft and Cowling, 1956). However disagreement over the indications for treatment, doubts about its real value and concern a...
متن کاملChronic active hepatitis in the type I polyglandular autoimmune syndrome.
Type I polyglandular autoimmune syndrome is characterized by the triad of hypoparathyroidism, Addison's disease and chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis. Chronic active hepatitis has been associated with this syndrome but its incidence and severity have not been well documented. We describe a sibship of two patients with type I polyglandular autoimmune syndrome who presented with autoimmune chroni...
