Serologic and Physicochemical Characterization of Donath- Landsteiner Antibodies from Six Patients.

چکیده
By CARL F. HINz, JR. T HE HEMOLYSIN of the Donath-Landsteiner reaction, responsible for [)arOxysmal cold hemoglobinuria, has not been characterized physicochemically. Other erythrocyte agglutinins and hemolysins have been identified in both the 75 and 195 fractions of y-globulin,1 and certain other of the cold antibodies have been identified with the 195 globulins.2 Further, the Donath-Landsteiner hemolysin is often associated with the Wassermann rca-

Infectious mononucleosis complicated by acute haemolytic anaemia with a positive Donath-Landsteiner reaction.
A patient with infectious mononucleosis complicated by acute haemolytic anaemia is described. The patient had, in addition to non-specific cold agglutinins in the serum, a positive Donath-Landsteiner reaction in the absence of syphilis. The association of a positive Donath-Landsteiner reaction with haemolytic anaemia in infectious mononucleosis has been described only once before.
متن کاملMeasurement of Donath-Landsteiner antibody-producing cells in idiopathic nonsyphilitic paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria (PCH) in children.
A 2-yr-old girl with a nonsyphilitic type of paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria (PCH) is reported. We applied the plaque-forming cell (PFC) assay to the measurement of Donath-Landsteiner (DL) antibody-producing cells in the patient. Some of the circulating B lymphocytes formed plaques in our assay system. Initially the number of PFC was 1442 +/- 225/10(6) lymphocytes and DL titer was 1:16. Thereaf...
متن کاملSerologic study on leptospiral infection in sheep in Ahvaz, southwestern Iran
To investigate the seroprevalence of leptospiral infection in sheep in Ahvaz, southwestern Iran, bloodsamples were taken from 181 female sheep. Sera were stored at -20°C until use. They were initially screenedat serum dilution of 1:100 against six live antigens of Leptospira interrogans serovars pomona, canicola,hardjo, ballum, icterohaemorrhagiae, grippotyphosa using the microscopic agglutinat...
متن کاملStudies on Immune Human Hemolysis
The Donath-Landsteiner reaction was studied using low and high titer antisera and purified antibody, normal and PNH erythrocytes, and human serum complement. The requirement for complement in both the cold and warm phases of the reaction depended upon the level of antibody used and the sensitivity of the cells to hemolytic antibodies. Complement was not necessary in the cold phase using PNH cel...
متن کاملDiagnostic difficulties in a patient with paroxysmal cold haemoglobinuria and acute kidney injury
Paroxysmal cold haemoglobinuria (PCH) is a form of autoimmune haemolytic anaemia (AIHA) characterised by a sudden onset of haemoglobinuria, either spontaneously or following exposure to cold. In children, it is commonly seen following a viral illness or after immunisation. Diagnosis of PCH is confirmed by a positive Donath Landsteiner (DL) test in which biphasic haemolysins are detected. Howeve...
