MIF production of lymphocytes from patients with rheumatoid arthritis with antigen-antibody complexes.

چکیده
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 incubated with antigen-antibody complexes, when the supernates were tested with guinea pig macrophages. Only two supernates of healthy persons showed migration inhibition activity under these conditions. The results suggest that migration inhibition by antigen antibody complexes in RA represents a true reaction of delayed hypersensitivity.

Highly purified populations of T and B lymphocytes obtained by affinity column separation were stimulated by antigen and their ability to produce two mediators, migration inhibitory factor (MIF) and lymphocyte mitogenic factor (LMF) was assessed. Both T- and B-cell populations made MIF; the production of MIF was antigen-specific using purified protein derivative of tuberculin, streptokinase-str...
متن کاملLymphocytes transformed by Epstein-Barr virus. Induction of nuclear antigen reactive with antibody in rheumatoid arthritis
Sera from approximately two-thirds of patients with rheumatoid arthritis contain an antibody which is reactive with a nuclear antigen present in human B-lymphocyte tissue culture cells. The immunological reaction can be demonstrated by precipitation and immunofluorescence. Evidence is present that the reactive nuclear antigen is associated with Epstein-Barr (EB) virus-transformed lymphocytes. N...
