Interference by rheumatoid factor and C1q in the detection of IgG complexes: studies of model systems by ELISA

Scandinavian Journal of Immunology
O Wager, P Lindstrøm

Abstract

Interference by purified IgM rheumatoid factors (RFs) and C1q in the detection of model complexes was studied by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Soluble monoclonal and polyclonal cryoglobulin IgM RFs and human or porcine C1q inhibited dose-dependently the binding of human IgG complexes to solid-phase IgM RF, C1q, and bovine conglutinin (Kg). The inhibition patterns of the Kg binding were dependent on the order of confrontation between the reactants. To achieve inhibition, C1q or RF had to be offered to the complexes before treatment with fresh normal human serum (NHS); complexes pretreated with fresh NHS (alexinated complexes) were resistant to inhibition. Heating at 56 degrees C or 63 degrees C, which destroyed the alexinating capacity of NHS, did not affect the Kg binding of alexinated complexes. On the basis of present and previous findings it is concluded that intrinsic C1q and RFs are likely to interfere with detection of circulating immune complexes (CICs) in C1q- or RF-binding assays; they are less likely to interfere with detection of CICs in Kg-binding assays. The problems associated with selective removal of intrinsic C1q and RFs are discussed.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
