Abstract

The polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) chemiluminescence (CL) response to opsonized zymosan reflecting the C3b/C3bi-receptor-mediated PMN respiratory burst activation was studied in 99 arthritic patients typed for the HLA-B27 antigen. The results indicate that the B27 antigen per se is not associated with disturbances in PMN CL response. However, the erythrocyte sedimentation rate showed a correlation with CL, suggesting that the activity of arthritic disease may affect the PMN CL response.
