Estimation of IgM rheumatoid factors by fluorimetry.
Sheep red cells coated with rabbit IgG antibody may be used to detect IgM rheumatoid factors either by agglutination or microscopically by the fluorescence of antihuman IgM antibody conjugate bound to rheumatoid factors on the cell surface. By substituting for red cells the plastic surface of a filter disc coated with rabbit IgG it was possible to elute the bound conjugate and measure the fluor...
متن کاملComplement activating properties of monoreactive and polyreactive IgM rheumatoid factors.
OBJECTIVES To estimate the complement activating properties of monoclonal, monoreactive, and polyreactive IgM rheumatoid factors derived from Epstein-Barr virus transformed B cells isolated from peripheral blood and synovial tissue of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS An enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure the activation of the classical pathway of com...
متن کاملEstimation of urinary aldosterone using thin-layer chromatography and fluorimetry.
AIMS To develop a fluorimetric method for the estimation of urinary aldosterone; to establish a normal range in 24 hour and overnight urine samples; and to investigate the use of overnight urines for detecting hyperaldosteronism. METHODS Essential steps include hydrolysis of the 18 conjugate to release aldosterone and its oxidation with Benedict's solution, followed by thin-layer chromatograp...
متن کاملComparative study of different enzyme immunoassays for measurement of IgM and IgA rheumatoid factors.
OBJECTIVE To compare the value of various IgM and IgA rheumatoid factor (RF) tests for the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS Firstly, the latex test, one global assay (for IgM, IgA, and IgG RF), six IgM, and four IgA RF assays were compared in a particularly challenging situation-that is, with 67 patients with RA, many of whom were latex negative, and 91 non-RA controls, many of...
متن کاملMonomeric (7S) IgM found in the serum of rheumatoid arthritis patients share idiotypes with pentameric (19S) monoclonal rheumatoid factors.
Serum from some seropositive (RF+) rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients contains relatively high concentrations of monomeric (7S) IgM molecules. Seven S IgM molecules fail to bind the Fc portion of IgG, unlike 19S IgM RFs that bind aggregated IgG in classical RF assays. Some pentameric IgM RFs are marked by crossreactive idiotypes (RCRI) defined by prototypic monoclonal RFs. In previous studies, ...
