Circulating immune complexes in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria.

R Villaescusa, M N Santos, Y García

    Acta Haematologica
    |January 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    Circulating immune complexes are present in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). Elevated C3d and immunoconglutinins correlate with complement inhibition, indicating immune system involvement in PNH pathogenesis.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Hematology

    Background:

    • Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a rare, acquired blood disorder.
    • The role of immune complexes in PNH pathogenesis requires further elucidation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the presence and characteristics of circulating immune complexes in patients with PNH.

    Main Methods:

    • Sera from 13 PNH patients were analyzed.
    • Assays included complement-dependent rosette formation (EAC), anticomplementary activity, antilymphocyte antibodies, C3d, immunoconglutinins, and total hemolytic complement.

    Main Results:

    • Inhibition of EAC rosette formation was observed in 6 patients.
    • Increased anticomplementary activity and antilymphocyte antibodies were found in 2 patients each.

  • Elevated levels of C3d and immunoconglutinins showed a significant correlation with EAC inhibition.

    • Conclusions:

    • Circulating immune complexes are present in patients with PNH.
    • Elevated C3d and immunoconglutinins may contribute to complement system dysregulation in PNH.
