An appreciable number of patients with toluene diisocyanate (TDI)-induced asthma have high serum levels of specific IgE (sIgE) antibody to TDI-human serum albumin conjugate (HSA). A recent investigation suggested a role of specific IgG (sIgG) in the development of TDI asthma.
We observed the changes in the levels of specific IgE and IgG antibodies to TDIHSA conjugate in TDI-induced asthmatic patients during seven years avoidance.
Six subjects with high sIgE and five with high sIgG were enrolled. All of them had taken anti-asthmatic medications with complete avoidance. Serum levels of sIgE and sIgG to TDI-HSA conjugate were detected by ELISA. The level of sIgE continued to decline up to 7 years and the mean half-life was 3.9 years. The mean half-life of sIgG was 4.5 yrs.
These findings suggest that both sIgE and sIgG to TDI-HSA conjugate may persist for several years after the last exposure to TDI.
相当数量的甲苯二异氰酸酯(TDI)诱发哮喘患者血清中针对TDI - 人血清白蛋白偶联物(HSA)的特异性IgE(sIgE)抗体水平较高。最近的一项调查表明特异性IgG(sIgG)在TDI哮喘的发病过程中起作用。
我们观察了TDI诱发的哮喘患者在避免接触TDI七年间针对TDI - HSA偶联物的特异性IgE和IgG抗体水平的变化。
招募了6名高sIgE患者和5名高sIgG患者。他们都服用了抗哮喘药物并完全避免接触。通过酶联免疫吸附测定法(ELISA)检测血清中针对TDI - HSA偶联物的sIgE和sIgG水平。sIgE水平持续下降长达7年,平均半衰期为3.9年。sIgG的平均半衰期为4.5年。
这些发现表明,针对TDI - HSA偶联物的sIgE和sIgG在最后一次接触TDI后可能会持续数年。
