Altered immunoglobulin metabolism in systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis
AUTOR(ES)
Levy, Joshua
RESUMO
IgG and IgM metabolism was evaluated in 10 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), 10 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and in seven normal volunteers. The biological half-lives of purified IgG and IgM, labeled with 131I and 125I, respectively, were determined by serial measurements of radioactivity in the blood and urine with a gamma well counter, and by serial counts of total body radioactivity in a total body counting chamber.
