Examination of anticardiolipin antibodies (ACAs) in the sera of patients clinically diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) using an enzyme-linked immunoassay procedure demonstrated the presence of immunoglobulin M isotypes in 95% of CFS serum samples tested. The presence of immunoglobulin G and immunoglobulin A isotypes were also detected in a subset of the samples. Future studies will focus on elucidating whether alterations to mitochondrial inner membranes and/or metabolic functions play a possible role in the expression of ACAs.
采用酶联免疫分析法对临床诊断为慢性疲劳综合征(CFS)患者血清中的抗心磷脂抗体(ACA)进行检测,结果显示,在95%的CFS血清检测样本中存在免疫球蛋白M亚型。在部分样本中还检测到了免疫球蛋白G和免疫球蛋白A亚型。未来的研究将集中于阐明线粒体内膜和/或代谢功能的改变是否在ACA的表达中发挥可能的作用。
