In 79 patients with leprosy a significant increase of anti-extractable nuclear antigen (ENA) antibodies and circulating immune complexes (CIC) was found. No correlation between CIC and anti-ENA antibodies was demonstrable. Since such a correlation is known from antinuclear antibodies and CIC in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, it appears likely that anti-ENA antibodies do not play a causative role in CIC-mediated pathogenesis of leprosy.
在79例麻风病患者中,发现抗可提取核抗原(ENA)抗体和循环免疫复合物(CIC)显著增加。未发现CIC与抗ENA抗体之间存在相关性。鉴于系统性红斑狼疮患者的抗核抗体与CIC之间存在这种相关性,抗ENA抗体似乎不太可能在麻风病的CIC介导的发病机制中起致病作用。
