Circulating immune complexes, complement and complement component levels in childhood Hodgkin's disease

W E Brandeis, C Tan, Y Wang

    Clinical and Experimental Immunology
    |March 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    Circulating immune complexes (CIC) and complement levels fluctuate with Hodgkin's disease activity, treatment, and relapse in children. Elevated CIC and altered complement levels indicate active disease and potential relapse.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Oncology
    • Immunology
    • Clinical Chemistry

    Background:

    • Hodgkin's disease in children involves complex immune system interactions.
    • Monitoring immune markers can aid in understanding disease progression and treatment response.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To correlate serum levels of circulating immune complexes (CIC), total hemolytic complement (TCH50), Clq, and C3 with clinical parameters in pediatric Hodgkin's disease.
    • To investigate the dynamic changes of these immune markers during disease activity, treatment, and relapse.

    Main Methods:

    • Assay of CIC using Raji cell radioimmunoassay, TCH50, Clq, and C3 in 86 children with Hodgkin's disease over 4 years.
    • Correlation of immune marker levels with clinical stage, histology, age, sex, and treatment status.

    Main Results:

    • Significantly elevated CIC and complement levels (C3, Clq) at diagnosis before treatment (P < 0.001).
    • Persistent elevation of CIC observed during and after treatment, and notably at relapse.
    • Total hemolytic complement (TCH50) levels were elevated in untreated active disease and decreased during/after treatment, with significant differences observed during relapses.

    Conclusions:

    • Serum CIC and complement levels are valuable indicators of disease activity and treatment response in pediatric Hodgkin's disease.
    • Monitoring these immune markers can help identify patients with active disease and those at risk of relapse.
