Virus antibody levels and delayed hypersensitivity in rheumatoid arthritis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Epstein-Barr virus and cytomegalovirus antibody levels were not higher in patients with rheumatoid arthritis compared to matched controls. Delayed hypersensitivity, measured by skin test reactivity, was depressed in rheumatoid arthritis. There was no correlation between virus antibody titres and delayed hypersensitivity.

MIF production of lymphocytes from patients with rheumatoid arthritis with antigen-antibody complexes.
Immune complexes, human erythrocytes coated with human IgG antibody, inhibit the migration of lymphocytes from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. No correlation could be observed between migration inhibition and Waaler-Rose titre (sheep cell agglutination titre) in inidvidual patients. Production of migration inhibitory factor (MIF) could be detected in 16 of 20 cultures of RA lymphocytes incu...
متن کاملImmunological aspects of rheumatoid disease: a review.
The methods by which tissue damage may result from an immunological reaction are mostly obscure. In considering the immunological aspects of rheumatoid disease, we have, therefore, first summarized known immunological reactions. We have then considered those features of rheumatoid disease which could be interpreted as being based on similar reactions. Finally, we have discussed whether the para...
متن کاملGold-specific T cells in rheumatoid arthritis patients treated with gold.
Gold-specific T lymphocyte clones were isolated from a patient with rheumatoid arthritis who developed delayed type hypersensitivity reactions to gold. All of the isolated T cell clones required histocompatible antigen presenting cells as well as gold for induction of proliferation. Using a panel of HLA-homozygous Epstein Barr virus-transformed B (EBV-B) cells and anti-HLA antibodies, the clone...
متن کاملMechanisms of depressed delayed-type hypersensitivity in rheumatoid arthritis: the role of protein energy malnutrition.
The presence of anergy and its relationship to malnutrition was investigated in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and in controls. A generalised reduction in delayed cutaneous hypersensitivity to 7 recall antigens were found in 104 RA patients compared with 67 controls. No measured of the disease was capable of predicting cutaneous anergy, which was present in 36% of patients but none of ...
متن کاملImmunofluorescent demonstration of an intra-articular antigen-antibody complex in experimental arthritis of the guinea-pig.
In an experimental model for human rheumatoid arthritis described by Loewi (1968, 1969), immunological arthritis was induced in the guinea-pig by intra-articular challenge with bovine gamma globulin after the animal had been preimmunized with the same antigen in complete Freund's adjuvant. As a result of his studies Loewi (1968) postulated that the observed synovitis might be mediated by local ...
