A serum factor in aspirin intolerance disease.

E W Fisherman, G N Cohen

    Annals of Allergy
    |April 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    A stable serum factor causes anti-hemostatic effects and exacerbates symptoms in aspirin-intolerant patients. This suggests altered gamma globulin from aspirin exposure may trigger immune responses in susceptible individuals.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Pharmacology
    • Biochemistry

    Background:

    • Aspirin intolerance affects a subset of patients, presenting with diverse clinical manifestations.
    • The underlying immunological mechanisms of aspirin intolerance remain incompletely understood.
    • Previous studies suggest a role for immune dysregulation in adverse reactions to aspirin.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the presence and nature of a serum factor responsible for aspirin intolerance.
    • To explore the immunologic pathways potentially involved in aspirin-induced clinical symptoms.
    • To determine if this factor induces anti-hemostatic effects.

    Main Methods:

    • Direct and indirect intradermal serum challenge using sera from aspirin-intolerant patients.
    • Testing serum stability under various conditions (heat, cold, storage).
    • Assessing anti-hemostatic effects and clinical symptom exacerbation in aspirin-tolerant and intolerant subjects.

    Main Results:

    • A heat, cold, and storage-stable serum factor was identified.
    • This factor induced acute anti-hemostatic effects.
    • In some aspirin-intolerant patients, the factor exacerbated brief induced clinical symptoms.

    Conclusions:

    • The findings support a hypothesis involving conformationally altered gamma globulin induced by low molecular weight chemicals like aspirin.
    • This altered gamma globulin may be recognized by a specific subpopulation of B-lymphocytes.
    • This recognition could lead to immune complex formation and subsequent alterations in pharmacologic pathways, explaining aspirin intolerance symptoms.
