Antiglobulin factor in sera from patients with liver disease.
نویسندگان
چکیده
(1) An antiglobulin factor, non-neutralizable by human gamma-globulin, was demonstrated in sera of two patients with liver disease. (2) By absorption and elution techniques, two fractions were differentiated in a serum: one is reactive to rabbit antibody and the other seems cross-reactive to rabbit and human antibodies. (3) In double immunodiffusion test, the antiglobulin factor formed a precipitation band with heat-aggregated human IgG as did rheumatoid arthritis serum. (4) While the antiglobulin activity to rabbit antibody was demonstrated in both the IgM and IgG fractions, the reactivity to human antibody was localized in the IgM fraction. (5) From its selective reactivity to individual anti-D sera (sensitizers), at least a part of the specificity of the antiglobulin factor must be related to anti-Gm (1), and consequently can be regarded as auto-reactive.

Raised IgG antiglobulin factors in Still's disease.
Still's disease (juvenile chronic polyarthritis) differs markedly from adult rheumatoid arthritis in the relative incidence of rheumatoid factor. The sheep cell agglutination test was found to be positive in only 11 to 13 per cent. of Still's disease patients compared with 70 to 80 per cent. of affected adults (Bywaters, Carter, and Scott, 1959; Laaksonen, 1966). Similarly, using the sensitive ...
متن کاملAntiglobulin factors in sera from patients with rheumatoid arthritis and normal subjects. Quantitative estimation in different immunoglobulin classes.
The conventional tests for rheumatoid factor depend upon the agglutination of particles such as red cells or latex, coated with immunoglobulin-G. Since antibodies of the IgM class tend to be particularly effective in agglutination reactions, it is likely that the rheumatoid factor tests minimize any possible contribution from antiglobulin factors in other immunoglobulin classes. However, if the...
متن کاملDetection of Rheumatoid Factors in Sera and Biopsy Lesions of Vitiligo Patients
Background: Vitiligo is a dermatological disorder of unknown etiology with a common incidence in southern Iran. Presence of autoantibodies to melanocyte antigens suggested an autoimmune basis of the disease. Objective: In this study, the presence of rheumatoid factor (RF) in sera and skin biopsies of vitiligo patients was investigated. Methods: The presence of RF in sera of 35 vitiligo and 32 n...

Background and purpose : Hepatitis  virus (HÂV) vaccination has been advised for patients with chronic liver diseases as HÂV super infection in these patients can result in severe or even fatal disease . Ïn Ïran the indication for HÂV vaccination are not clear due to lack of data on HÂV seroprevalence in patients with chronic liver diseases. The aim of this study was to determine the pre...
متن کاملA direct binding assay for rheumatoid factor serum antiglobulins using fluorescein-labelled Fc fragment of human immunoglobulin-G.
A simple routine method is described for the quantitation of antiglobulin (rheumatoid factor) in human serum irrespective of its immunoglobulin class. Papain Fc fragment of human IgG is labelled with fluorescein isothiocyanate and incubated with the serum. Bound Fc is separated from free Fc by precipitation with polyethylene glycol and measured by the fluorescence of the precipitate. Results ar...
