The polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) chemiluminescence (CL) response to opsonized zymosan reflecting the C3b/C3bi-receptor-mediated PMN respiratory burst activation was studied in 99 arthritic patients typed for the HLA-B27 antigen. The results indicate that the B27 antigen per se is not associated with disturbances in PMN CL response. However, the erythrocyte sedimentation rate showed a correlation with CL, suggesting that the activity of arthritic disease may affect the PMN CL response.
在99名已进行HLA - B27抗原分型的关节炎患者中,研究了多形核白细胞(PMN)对调理酵母聚糖的化学发光(CL)反应,该反应反映了C3b/C3bi受体介导的PMN呼吸爆发激活。结果表明,B27抗原本身与PMN CL反应紊乱无关。然而,红细胞沉降率与CL相关,提示关节炎疾病的活动可能影响PMN CL反应。
