Neutrophil antibodies (pANCA) in chronic liver disease and inflammatory bowel disease: do they react with different antigens?

Abstract

A high frequency of perinuclear neutrophil antibodies (pANCA) has been described in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). We evaluated the presence of pANCA in chronic liver disease and compared the immunoglobulin G (IgG) subclasses of pANCA in inflammatory bowel disease with chronic liver disease. Since the antigen reacting with pANCA could not be determined, the antigenic role of various neutrophil antigens was evaluated. Detection of pANCA and their IgG subclass was performed by immunofluorescence. One hundred and forty patients with chronic liver disease, 96 patients with inflammatory bowel disease and 40 healthy controls were tested for pANCA. pANCA positive and negative sera were evaluated for their reactivity with different neutrophil antigens in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) system. pANCA were found in 8 of 23 patients (35%) with autoimmune hepatitis, in 6 of 21 patients (28%) with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), in 18 of 25 patients (72%) with PSC, in 3 of 48 patients (6%) with viral hepatitis, in 30 of 48 patients (62%) with UC, and in 2 of 48 patients (4%) with Crohn's disease. All 20 patients with alcoholic liver disease and 40 healthy controls were negative ...Continue Reading

Autoimmune Hepatitis

Autoimmune hepatitis formerly called lupoid hepatitis, is a chronic, autoimmune disease of the liver that occurs when the body's immune system attacks liver cells causing the liver to be inflamed. Discover the latest research on autoimmune hepatitis here.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
