  • Title: [The characteristics of the autoimmune reactions in donors immunized with influenza vaccine and staphylococcal anatoxin].

    Journal: Zh Mikrobiol Epidemiol Immunobiol; 1996; (2):44-7. PubMed ID: 8701655.
    Abstract:
    Regularities in the formation of autoantibodies to human IgA, IgM, IgG and their fragments, such as F(ab')2, Fab, Fc, in donors immunized with influenza vaccine (44 subjects) and staphylococcal toxoid (15 subjects) were studied with regard to the dynamics of specific immune response. After immunization with staphylococcal toxoid autoimmune reactions were registered only in the precipitation tests during 3-5 weeks of observation. In donors immunized with influenza vaccine the induction of isotypically heterogeneous autoimmune reactions was established. These reactions were represented mainly by IgA and IgG autoantibodies to immunoglobulins of different classes and their fragments. The duration of autoimmune reactions registered in this group of donors was specially noteworthy. The levels of autoantibodies to most of the antigens under study remained significantly elevated for 6 months. After immunization with influenza vaccine the presence of direct correlation between the level of specific immune response and the level of autoantibody formation was established.
