Quantitation of soluble HLA class I heterodimers and beta 2-microglobulin in patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis.

Abstract:

:Beta 2m serum levels have been shown to be increased in patients with tuberculosis and HIV infection. We determined the stability of beta 2m and of sHLA-I dimers in serum, and then determined the levels of both molecules in 60 non-HIV-infected patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis and in 55 adult controls. The levels of sHLA-I in samples kept at room temperature declined by 8% at 30 minutes, 16% at 60 minutes, and 36% at 120 minutes. Beta 2m levels remained stable at all times tested. Mean sHLA-I levels were 0.99 +/- 0.16 micrograms/ml in controls and 1.34 +/- 0.11 micrograms/ml in patients with tuberculosis (P < 0.0001). Beta 2m levels were 1.23 +/- 0.26 micrograms/ml in controls and 2.26 +/- 0.64 micrograms/ml in patients with tuberculosis (P < 0.0001). All patients with tuberculosis had elevation of sHLA-I and/or beta 2m above 1 standard deviation of normal values. However, there was no correlation between sHLA-I and beta 2m levels in individual samples. Evaluation of sHLA-I holds the promise of further understanding of the biology and genetic regulation of the immune response to mycobacterial infection.
