Clinical study of rheumatoid factor (RF) in serum of rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
Orthopedics & Traumatology, 1983 Clinical data of 255 cases (1869 examinations) of definite or classical RA were analysed statistically and discussed on the correlation between with titers of RF (LATEX, RAHA and Waaler-Rose test) and with clinical findings.Titers of RF tend to increase in cases with high activities of general and joint symptoms in the following clinical data; general ...

Increased mucosal synthesis of rheumatoid factor (RF) in coeliac disease
Clinical and Experimental Immunology, 1996 SUMMARY Increased serum levels of RF have been reported in patients with gluten sensitivity. The objective of this study was to investigate the in vivo secretion of different isotypes of RF in the small bowel in coeliac disease. Nineteen patients were investigated by perfusion of a defined jejunal segment, and the jejunal perfusion fluid

HLA-DRβ2 and IgM Rheumatoid Factor (RF) Positive Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
International Journal of Immunopathology and Pharmacology, 1988 48 patients suffering from classic erosive RA with conditions persisting for more than 6 years were examined together with 69 healthy control subject with regard to associations to supertypic HLA-D specificities. We found a significant increase of HLA-DRw53 in patients with RF positive RA (22/31 pat. = 71%,Chi 2

Characterization of an epibody. An antiidiotype that reacts with both the idiotype of rheumatoid factors (RF) and the antigen recognized by RF. [PDF]
The Journal of experimental medicine, 1985 Recently, an antiidiotype to human monoclonal IgM anti-IgG autoantibodies (rheumatoid factors) was found to react also with human IgG. This peculiar antiidiotype was called an 'epibody'. We describe the induction of a similar epibody by immunization with a synthetic peptide (corresponding to one hypervariable region of the IgM-RF Glo).

Romanian Journal of Laboratory Medicine, 2016 Introduction: Rheumatoid factor (RF) and anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) are poor prognostic factors in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The therapeutic implication of antinuclear antibody (ANA) positivity in RA is still debated. The study aims to

Use of Cerebrospinal Fluid Biomarkers in Diagnosis and Monitoring of Rheumatoid Meningitis
Frontiers in Neurology, 2019 Rheumatoid meningitis is a rare extra-articular manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis, often with non-specific symptoms. In most cases brain MRI shows a patchy lepto- and pachymeningeal enhancement, but the diagnosis currently relies on examination of a ...

Early rheumatoid arthritis is characterized by a distinct and transient synovial fluid cytokine profile of T cell and stromal cell origin [PDF]
, 2005 Pathological processes involved in the initiation of rheumatoid synovitis remain unclear. We undertook the present study to identify immune and stromal processes that are present soon after the clinical onset of rheumatoid arthritis ( RA) by assessing a ...
