Abstract
Galactose-deficient (agalactosyl) IgG is significantly increased in the serum of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, and autoantibodies against it are used in clinical tests. Subsequent studies also show increased agalactosyl IgG in many chronic inflammatory diseases. In this study, we generated antibody 42B1 recognizing agalactosyl IgG and developed a new method to evaluate chronic inflammatory diseases with it. Using an ELISA with antibody 42B1, we measured serum levels of agalactosyl IgG in 32 patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), 60 patients with chronic liver disease, 60 patients with chronic pancreatitis, and 32 subjects undergoing health checkups who did not have IBD. Serum agalactosyl IgG levels were increased in all patients with chronic inflammations and partially correlated with clinical parameters. Among the subjects undergoing health checkups, some subjects showed a 15 % elevation of serum agalactosyl IgG levels, suggesting possible latent chronic inflammation. Future studies will examine the 42B1 antibody ELISA in various autoimmune diseases. Altogether, the 42B1 antibody for determination of serum agalactosyl IgG levels is a novel diagnostic tool for chronic inflammation.
期刊介绍:
The Official Journal of the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC)
Clinica Chimica Acta is a high-quality journal which publishes original Research Communications in the field of clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, defined as the diagnostic application of chemistry, biochemistry, immunochemistry, biochemical aspects of hematology, toxicology, and molecular biology to the study of human disease in body fluids and cells.
The objective of the journal is to publish novel information leading to a better understanding of biological mechanisms of human diseases, their prevention, diagnosis, and patient management. Reports of an applied clinical character are also welcome. Papers concerned with normal metabolic processes or with constituents of normal cells or body fluids, such as reports of experimental or clinical studies in animals, are only considered when they are clearly and directly relevant to human disease. Evaluation of commercial products have a low priority for publication, unless they are novel or represent a technological breakthrough. Studies dealing with effects of drugs and natural products and studies dealing with the redox status in various diseases are not within the journal''s scope. Development and evaluation of novel analytical methodologies where applicable to diagnostic clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, including point-of-care testing, and topics on laboratory management and informatics will also be considered. Studies focused on emerging diagnostic technologies and (big) data analysis procedures including digitalization, mobile Health, and artificial Intelligence applied to Laboratory Medicine are also of interest.
