The frequency and concentration of specific factors binding beta 2 microglobulin were investigated in sera and synovial fluids of patients and in sera of normal controls. High anti-beta 2 m activity was detected in the sera of adult RA patients, particularly in those of with extra-articular disease. Similarly, anti-beta 2 m was present in the synovial fluids of RA but not of osteoarthrosis patients. Both the binding of anti-beta 2 m activity to the Sepharose staphylococcal protein A and its elution position in the second 'IgG' peak after Sephadex G-200 gel filtration suggest the antibody nature of the activity. The possibility of differences not only in titre but also in the specificity of heterologous and homologous anti-beta 2 m antibodies are discussed.
研究了患者血清和滑液以及正常对照血清中与β2微球蛋白结合的特定因子的频率和浓度。在成年类风湿性关节炎(RA)患者的血清中检测到高抗β2m活性,尤其是在那些患有关节外疾病的患者中。同样,抗β2m存在于RA患者的滑液中,而骨关节炎患者的滑液中则不存在。抗β2m活性与琼脂糖葡萄球菌蛋白A的结合及其在Sephadex G - 200凝胶过滤后的第二个“IgG”峰中的洗脱位置均表明该活性具有抗体性质。文中讨论了异源和同源抗β2m抗体不仅在滴度上而且在特异性上存在差异的可能性。
