IgM rheumatoid factor (RF) elaboration by rheumatoid arthritis (RA) synovial, bone marrow, and blood mononuclear cells (MNC) is reported. IgM RF was prepared from RF-positive sera by sequential euglobulin precipitation, Sephacryl S300 gel filtration, and IgG-Sepharose affinity chromatography. Purified material, which contained no detectable IgG or IgA, was used in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to quantitate cellular elaboration of IgM RF. Excellent standard curves (r2 = 0.98) were obtained without nonspecific binding of samples or antisera to IgG-coated microtiter plates and without cross-reactivity of standards with antisera other than anti-IgM. We found RA blood MNC (11 patients) spontaneously averaged 15 ng/ml IgM RF (6% of total IgM produced), but elaborated 254 ng/ml IgM RF following pokeweed mitogen (PWM) stimulation (22 patients), exceeding that of 13 normal controls. Bone marrow MNC spontaneously (4 patients) produced 71 ng/ml IgM RF and secreted 78 ng/ml IgM RF with PWM stimulation (9 patients). In contrast synovial fluid MNC (5 patients) spontaneously elaborated 6652 ng/ml IgM RF, significantly (P less than 0.05) more than blood or bone marrow MNC; PWM-stimulated synovial fluid MNC (5 patients) produced 5472 ng/ml IgM RF. These observations confirm selective localization of activated, IgM RF-producing cells to the rheumatoid synovial space.
据报道,类风湿关节炎(RA)的滑膜、骨髓和血液单核细胞(MNC)可产生IgM类风湿因子(RF)。通过依次进行优球蛋白沉淀、Sephacryl S300凝胶过滤和IgG-琼脂糖亲和层析,从RF阳性血清中制备IgM RF。将不含可检测到的IgG或IgA的纯化物质用于酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA),以定量IgM RF的细胞产生情况。获得了出色的标准曲线(r2 = 0.98),样品或抗血清与IgG包被的微量滴定板无非特异性结合,且标准品与抗IgM以外的抗血清无交叉反应。我们发现,RA血液MNC(11例患者)自发产生的IgM RF平均为15 ng/ml(占总产生IgM的6%),但在美洲商陆有丝分裂原(PWM)刺激后(22例患者)产生254 ng/ml IgM RF,超过了13名正常对照者。骨髓MNC(4例患者)自发产生71 ng/ml IgM RF,在PWM刺激下(9例患者)分泌78 ng/ml IgM RF。相比之下,滑膜液MNC(5例患者)自发产生6652 ng/ml IgM RF,显著高于血液或骨髓MNC(P小于0.05);PWM刺激的滑膜液MNC(5例患者)产生5472 ng/ml IgM RF。这些观察结果证实了活化的、产生IgM RF的细胞选择性定位于类风湿滑膜间隙。
