IgE rheumatoid factors: quantification in synovial fluid and ability to induce synovial mast cell histamine release.

Abstract:

:IgE rheumatoid factor activity was found to be significantly elevated (P less than 0.01) using an ELISA assay when paired synovial fluid and sera from 13 patients with active RA were compared to ten control samples. Synovial fluid IgE RF activity was higher than predicted by diffusion alone in 7/11 (64%) of the RA synovial fluids studied when coefficients of diffusion were determined. The specificity of IgE RF activity as measured by the ELISA was confirmed using immunoaffinity chromatography. Mast cells, obtained by enzymatic dispersion of rheumatoid synovial tissue, were sensitized with sera containing either IgE antibodies directed against ragweed or IgE with RF activity. Histamine was released upon challenge with anti-IgE antibodies (33.2% +/- 11), ragweed antigen E (34.6% +/- 11), or aggregated gamma globulin (47.6% +/- 17.9). No histamine release was observed if antigen challenge occurred in the absence of appropriate sensitization, with C3 anaphylatoxin, or after immunoadsorption of IgE from sera containing IgE RF activity.
