RHEUMATOID FACTOR AND THE PATHOGENESIS OF RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS [PDF]
In analogy with the two categories of reactants which are used in the serological tests for the unusual category of macroglobulins called rheumatoid factor, two fluorescent reactants have been prepared for the detection of rheumatoid factor in situ in tissue sections: fluorescent antigen-rabbit antibody (immune) complex, in the present study, and ...

The Effect of Smoking on Disease Activity in Rheumatoid Arthritis – Our Experience
The aim of this study was to investigate the association of smoking with disease activity, seropositivity, age and gender in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. We included 89 rheumatoid arthritis patients.

Subclinical features of atherosclerotic remodeling of arteries in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
The aim of the research – to study the structural-functional state of artery walls in patients with rheumatoid arthritis depending of disease duration, seropositivity for rheumatoid factor/ cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies, disease activity ...

Isolation of rheumatoid factors [PDF]
AbstractA method for the separation of rheumatoid factors into two serologically distinct macroglobulins is described. Macroglobulins, reacting with cells coated with human as well as with rabbit gamma globulin, were found to be mainly 19.4S, but occasionally such preparations contained minor constituents sedimenting at 22s as well as 27s ...

Evaluate the prevalence of CCP and RF antibodies as a marker for diagnosis and progression of Rheumatoid Arthritis disease and assess the prevalence of HCV in RA patients [PDF]
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease characterized by the presence of autoantibodies like rheumatoid factor (RF). In the last few years, several other autoantibodies have been described of which anti-cyclic citrullinated

Radioimmunoassay of rheumatoid factor [PDF]
AbstractA radioimmunological method for assaying rheumatoid factor is proposed and analyzed. The method is based on the reaction between rheumatoid factor, either purified or present in serum, and purified labeled yg globulin. This assay permits a quantitative estimation of rheumatoid factor levels in rheumatoid‐positive serum and provides evidence ...

Multiplicity of rheumatoid factor [PDF]
AbstractThe reactions between rheumatoid factor and erythrocytes sensitized by antibodies of human, rabbit and guinea pig origin were studied using absorption, elution, dispersion, inhibition and mixed agglutination experiments. The results indicated that there are separate molecules of the rheumatoid factor combining with γ‐globulin of the three ...
