The number of C3b receptors detected on 100 monocytes was significantly lower in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (23.0 +\/- 12.0, mean +\/- 1 SD) compared with normal controls (57.4 +\/- 16.9) and other chronic liver disease (HBsAg negative chronic active hepatitis 62.0 +\/- 17.0, alcoholic cirrhosis 50.9 +\/- 4.0), while the number of Fc receptors detected on 100 monocytes was not significantly different in all the groups (primary biliary cirrhosis 72.8 +\/- 28.6, chronic active hepatitis 74.7 +\/- 14.0, alcoholic cirrhosis 58.0 +\/- 13.5 and normal controls 69.6 +\/- 19.9). When mononuclear cells isolated from normal individuals were pre-incubated with serum from patients with primary biliary cirrhosis before testing their receptor function there was a significant reduction in the number of C3b receptors detected per 100 monocytes (27.6 +\/- 10.8) compared with pre-incubation with normal serum (72.0 +\/- 18.0). This reduction in C3b-receptor function was again observed when the serum used for pre-incubation was depleted of circulating immune complexes; but when complement was further depleted from these sera, the number of C3b-receptors detected after pre-incubation was similar to normal values (64.0 +\/- 11.8). Lymphocyte receptors showed a similar pattern of results. This implies a specific C3b receptor blockade on monocytes and lymphocytes from patients with primary biliary cirrhosis which appears to be because of blocking by serum factor(s) including complement fragments.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/gut.26.1.20","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,9,18]],"date-time":"2007-09-18T17:41:31Z","timestamp":1190137291000},"page":"20-25","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Mononuclear cell complement receptor blockade in primary biliary cirrhosis."],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"M N","family":"Al-Aghbar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J","family":"Neuberger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"R","family":"Williams","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A L","family":"Eddleston","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1985,1,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"4","article-title":"The role of immune response in the pathogenesis of primary biliary cirrhosis","volume":"1","author":"James, S.P.; Vierling, J.M.; Strober, W.","year":"1981","unstructured":"James SP, Vierling JM, Strober W.
