Artefacts associated with a cryoglobulin.

چکیده
A 70 year old man is described in whom the presence of a cryoglobulin caused a number of unusual laboratory features which were not recognized as being due to a cryoglobulin initially. Pseudoleucocytosis has been recognized in the past. However, the intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies have only rarely been described. The curious appearance of the ESR has not previously been described.

متن کاملLevel of galactosylation determines cryoglobulin activity of murine IgG3 monoclonal rheumatoid factor.
Autoantibodies of the cryoprecipitating IgG3 isotype have been shown to play a significant role in the development of murine lupus-like autoimmune syndrome. At present, the structural basis of IgG3 cryoprecipitation and its role in autoantibody pathogenicity remain to be defined. Using molecular variants of an IgG3 monoclonal rheumatoid factor, 6-19, derived from an autoimmune MRL-Fas(lpr) mous...
