Association of the human lymphocyte-DR2 antigen with Japanese ulcerative colitis
Abstract:
The frequency deviation of human lymphocyte-DR antigens as well as human lymphocyte A, B, and C antigens was assessed in 40 Japanese patients with ulcerative colitis and compared with 51 ethnically matched healthy Japanese. The antigen that was of significantly higher frequency in patients with ulcerative colitis was HLA-DR2. This antigen was found in 70% of the patients vs. 31% of controls [chi 2 = 13.4, p less than 0.001, corrected p less than 0.01, relative risk = 5.1). In addition, an increased frequency of HLA-B5-DR2, which is the most common haplotype in Japanese populations, was found in 55% of the patients with ulcerative colitis compared with 22% of the controls (chi 2 = 10.84, p less than 0.001).

Lymphoid Cells and Tissues
Lymphoid cells consist of various types of immune system cells. These include B and T lymphocytes, which are responsible for producing antibodies and killing infected cells, respectively. Dendritic cells act as messengers between the innate and adaptive...
Secondary Lymphoid Organs
The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...
