Summary

Sera of patients suffering from Lupus erythematosus (LE), rheumatoid arthritis, lymphoproliferative disorders and various diseases with a high incidence of antinuclear antibodies were investigated with regard to antibodies against autologous lymphocytes, the so called “lymphocytotoxins”. These lymphocytotoxins were detected almost exclusively in patients with LE. They were present in 11 of 12 patients with LE in active as well as in successfully treated cases. The etiology of the disease is discussed in the light of these findings.

Zusammenfassung

Seren von Patienten mit Lupus erythematodes, mit primär chronischer Polyarthritis, mit lymphoproliferativen Erkrankungen sowie verschiedenen Erkrankungen mit antinucleären Antikörpern wurden auf das Vorhandensein von Antikörpern gegen autologe Lymphocyten, sog. „Lymphocytotoxine“ getestet. Diese Lymphocytotoxine konnten fast ausschließlich bei Patienten mit LE nachgewiesen werden. Von 12 Patienten mit LE fehlten diese Antikörper nur in einem Fall. Ihr Auftreten war unabhängig von der Aktivität der Erkrankung. Die Virusätologie als Ursache der Entstehung des LE wird diskutiert.
