IgE class immune complexes in Felty's syndrome: characterisation of antibody activities in isolated complexes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
By means of a double polyethylene glycol (PEG) precipitation and PRIST technique IgE was detected in 3% PEG precipitates and in the immune complex enriched fractions purified by solid-phase Clq adsorption from sera of 11 of 20 patients with Felty's syndrome. No correlation was found between the occurrence of complexed IgE and total protein content of the immune complex enriched material. IgE rheumatoid factor and anti-IgE antibody activity were detected in some of the immune complex fractions. Serum levels of complement C3, C4, and factor B were low in IgE immune complex positive cases. Only 4 of 20 patients with articular rheumatoid arthritis had IgE-containing immune complexes.

Background: Tumor cells express antigens that can be recognized by immune system as foreign particles. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are molecular chaperones that bind to tumor antigens and mediate their uptake into antigen presenting cells. Methods: This articles is a review article and its data has been collected and categorized from the articles in the field of cancer immunotherapy. All the ar...

The macrocyclic complexes of biological importance with power transition metals are synthesized by template methodology leading to the formation of the complex [MLX] X2; where L is macrocyclic ligand derived from 3,4-diaminotoluene, 2,4-thiazolidinedione, M=Cr (III) and Fe(III) X is Cl-, CH3COO- or NO3_.Characterisation of these complexes are through with the assistance of elemental analyses(CH...
متن کاملIgE and IgE-rheumatoid factors in circulating immune complexes in rheumatoid arthritis.
The sera of 21 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), 11 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and 20 healthy subjects were analysed for the presence of IgE in immune complex fractions. These fractions were isolated by polyethylene glycol precipitation and gel filtration. Thirteen sera from RA patients contained IgE immune complexes (IC) and 11 of these were from patients with ext...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Method for Pb Functionalization and Preparing Immunogenic Complex
Antibody based methods have numerous advantages compared to other detection methods. However, heavy metals cannot stimulate the immune antibody response; it is the main obstacle for preparation of the antibodies that used in detection methods of the metals. The production of the immunogenic Pb complexes by using cost benefit linkers of EDTA and DTPA were investigated in this study.BS...
متن کاملCirculating immune complexes and complement C3 and C4 levels in a selected group of patients with rhinitis in Lebanon
BACKGROUND: A number of reports indicate that circulating immune complexes (CIC) and activation of the complement system contribute to the pathogenesis of Type I allergy. The aim of this study was to investigate the status of CIC in 113 patients with rhinitis in Lebanon and determine complement components C3 and C4 serum levels in the CIC-positive patients. Serum specific IgE antibodies were pr...
