Low levels of IgM auto-antibodies have been reported in health and disease. IgM anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) have been reported in patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV). We sought to investigate if healthy individuals may have IgM ANCA in their sera. The first aim of the study was to determine whether IgM ANCA was present in healthy individuals and in patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis. The second aim was to determine what happens to IgM ANCA levels over time. The third aim was to determine whether bacterial infections affected IgM ANCA levels in non-AAV patients. Sera from healthy individuals and patients with AAV were tested for IgM ANCA by immunofluorescence on fixed neutrophils, immunoprecipitation, Western blot and ELISA. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated and tested by ELISpot for circulating IgM ANCA B cells. To determine whether infection affected IgM ANCA levels, we studied non-AAV patients with bacterial endocarditis or Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia and measured IgM ANCA levels over time. IgM ANCA is detectable in both healthy individuals and patients with AAV and the titres decreased with increasing age. Circulating IgM ANCA B cells were identified by ELISpot. In the presence of infection, we could not find a significant change in IgM ANCA levels. We report the presence of low-level specific IgM ANCA in the sera of healthy individuals and in patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis. Bacterial infection did not affect the level of IgM ANCA in this small study.

健康个体和ANCA相关血管炎患者的IgM ANCA。

在健康和疾病中,IgM自身抗体水平较低。IgM抗中性粒细胞胞浆抗体(ANCA)已报道于ANCA相关血管炎(AAV)患者中。我们试图调查健康个体的血清中是否存在IgM ANCA。该研究的首要目的是确定健康个体和与ANCA相关的血管炎患者中是否存在IgM ANCA。第二个目的是确定随着时间的流逝,IgM ANCA水平会发生什么变化。第三个目标是确定细菌感染是否影响非AAV患者的IgM ANCA水平。通过固定中性粒细胞的免疫荧光,免疫沉淀,Western印迹和ELISA对健康个体和AAV患者的血清进行IgM ANCA检测。分离外周血单个核细胞并通过ELISpot测试循环的IgM ANCA B细胞。为了确定感染是否影响IgM ANCA水平,我们研究了患有细菌性心内膜炎或金黄色葡萄球菌菌血症的非AAV患者,并随时间测量了IgM ANCA水平。在健康个体和AAV患者中均可检测到IgM ANCA,且滴度随着年龄的增长而降低。通过ELISpot鉴定循环中的IgM ANCA B细胞。在感染的情况下,我们找不到IgM ANCA水平的显着变化。我们报告了在健康人的血清中以及与ANCA相关的血管炎患者中存在低水平的特异性IgM ANCA。在这项小型研究中,细菌感染并未影响IgM ANCA的水平。我们研究了患有细菌性心内膜炎或金黄色葡萄球菌菌血症的非AAV患者,并随时间测量了IgM ANCA水平。在健康个体和AAV患者中均可检测到IgM ANCA,且滴度随着年龄的增长而降低。通过ELISpot鉴定循环中的IgM ANCA B细胞。在感染的情况下,我们找不到IgM ANCA水平的显着变化。我们报告了在健康人的血清中以及与ANCA相关的血管炎患者中存在低水平的特异性IgM ANCA。在这项小型研究中,细菌感染并未影响IgM ANCA的水平。我们研究了患有细菌性心内膜炎或金黄色葡萄球菌菌血症的非AAV患者,并随时间测量了IgM ANCA水平。在健康个体和AAV患者中均可检测到IgM ANCA,且滴度随着年龄的增长而降低。通过ELISpot鉴定循环中的IgM ANCA B细胞。在感染的情况下,我们找不到IgM ANCA水平的显着变化。我们报告了在健康个体的血清中以及与ANCA相关的血管炎患者中存在低水平的特异性IgM ANCA。在这项小型研究中,细菌感染并未影响IgM ANCA的水平。通过ELISpot鉴定循环中的IgM ANCA B细胞。在感染的情况下,我们找不到IgM ANCA水平的显着变化。我们报告了在健康人的血清中以及与ANCA相关的血管炎患者中存在低水平的特异性IgM ANCA。在这项小型研究中,细菌感染并未影响IgM ANCA的水平。通过ELISpot鉴定循环中的IgM ANCA B细胞。在感染的情况下,我们找不到IgM ANCA水平的显着变化。我们报告了在健康个体的血清中以及与ANCA相关的血管炎患者中存在低水平的特异性IgM ANCA。在这项小型研究中,细菌感染并未影响IgM ANCA的水平。
