Metabolism of C4 and factor B in rheumatoid arthritis. Relation to rheumatoid factor
R A Kaplan et al. Arthritis Rheum. 1980 Aug.
Abstract
Metabolic turnover determined by radioiodide labeled C4 and Factor B was studied in 18 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and 19 normal control subjects as a means of estimating the relative ratio of consumption of components in the classical and alternative pathways of complement activation. Predominance of fractional catabolic rate (FCR) of C4 over Factor B was demonstrated with differentially labeled C4 and Factor B. The hypercatabolism occurred in the extravascular space. C4 FCR correlated significantly with rheumatoid factor (RF) determined in a hemolytic assay (rs = 0.72), measured as IgG RF (rs = 0.57), and as IgM RF (rs = 0.45). There were no significant correlations with several other antibodies measured. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that RA is a systemic, extravascular immune complex disease, in which RF immune complexes play a significant pathogenetic role principally via activation of the classical pathway of complement.
