Granulocyte-specific antinuclear factors in serum and synovial fluid in rheumatoid arthritis.

چکیده
Previous papers have dealt with questions concerning granulocyte-reactive antinuclear factors (ANF) occurring in rheumatoid arthritis and some other disorders (Faber, Elling, Norup, Mansa, and Nissen, 1964; Faber and Elling, 1966; Elling, 1967; Elling and Graudal, 1968; Elling, Graudal, and Faber, 1967). In this report data are presented concerning the occurrence and nuclear specificity of ANF in synovial fluids. Barnett, Bienenstock, and Bloch (1964, 1966) have reported ANF in nine out of 21 rheumatoid synovial fluids, and MacSween, Dalakos, Jasani, Wilson, Boyle, Buchanan, and Goudie (1967), using rat liver as nuclear source, in 23 per cent.

Comparative Measurement of Rheumatoid Factor in Serum and Synovial Fluid of Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients by ELISA and Latex-Agglutination Test
Rheumatoid factors (RF) are autoantibodies with specificity for the Fc portion of human IgG. Production of RF is a characteristic feature of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and is detectable in high titer in about 90% of these patients. In this study, we measured total IgM, IgA, IgMRF and IgARF in serum and synovial fluid of 45 RA patients by ELISA and the results were compared with those obtained b...

McCormick and Day (1963) reported that rheumatoid factors and 7S ANF co-existing in the same seramayform high molecular weight complexes, and absorption studies have brought forward evidence of an interaction between ANF and rheumatoid factors when present in the same serum (Holborow and Johnson, 1965). However, ANF in rheumatoid arthritis have mostly been found in low frequency and chiefly in ...

A comparative study of the distribution of immunoglobulins G, M, and A and C3 in the synovium and inside synovial fluid leucocytes and of the relative levels of IgG, IgM, AND C3 in paired samples of serum and synovial fluid from both seropositive and seronegative patients with rheumatoid arthritis and other types of non-infective synovitis shows that although there is no distinctive immunopatho...

High levels of rheumatoid factors (RF) are detectable in serum of the majority of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but 5-10% of patients remain seronegative (SN). Despite clinical and genetic similarities between these two subsets of RA, it has been proposed that they may be regarded as distinct clinical entities. Methods: In the present study a panel of monoclonal antibodies (mAb) rec...
