To investigate the association between CD5+ B cell expression and IgM rheumatoid factor (IgM-RF) in juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA).
CD5+ B cell levels analyzed by flow cytometry and IgM-RF expression determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay were compared in children with JRA, children with other collagen vascular diseases, and healthy controls.
Children with polyarticular JRA had expanded populations of CD5+ B cells, and expansion of CD5+ B cells and IgM-RF both correlated with disease activity.
The results indicate that an expanded CD5+ B cell population leads to IgM-RF production in patients with polyarticular JRA, as well as patients with RA.
研究青少年类风湿性关节炎(JRA)中CD5+B细胞表达与IgM类风湿因子(IgM-RF)之间的关联。
对JRA患儿、其他胶原血管疾病患儿及健康对照者,比较通过流式细胞术分析的CD5+B细胞水平以及通过酶联免疫吸附测定法测定的IgM-RF表达。
多关节型JRA患儿的CD5+B细胞群体增多,且CD5+B细胞增多和IgM-RF均与疾病活动相关。
结果表明,多关节型JRA患者以及类风湿性关节炎(RA)患者中,CD5+B细胞群体增多会导致IgM-RF产生。
