Related Product Information for Rheumatoid Factor, Control Serum serum
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology. Rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic disease characterized by chronic proliferation and inflammation of joint cartilage and supporting structures. RA is mainly defined by clinical criteria, in which systematic pathogenetic studies have been hampered by doubts about the presence of common pathogenetic mechanisms and the relative lack of unique laboratory findings. IgG rheumatoid factor has been reported to be present in sera of patients with rheumatoid arthritis both with and without IgM rheumatoid factor activity.
RFs are immunoglobulins of any isotype with antibody activity directed against antigenic sites on the Fc portion of IgG molecules. Because of its pentavalent structure and ability to cross-link immunoglobulin G antigen, IgM-RF is the main isotype identified by clinically available test assays for RF detection. Rheumatoid factors may exist as the mu, gamma, alpha, and epsilon isotypes.
