Popis: We have developed an ELISA technique to examine RBC-bound molecules in autoimmune disorders. In particular, the technique has enabled us to investigate the hole of some complement regulatory proteins in immune complex transport and to suggest that decay accelerating factor (DAF) may be involved in this process. In both autoimmune haemolytic anaemia (AHA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) a sub-set of individuals was identified, on the basis of patterns of complement receptor 1 (CR1) expression on RBC. In these patients, CR1 identified using the monoclonal antibody E11 was low or absent whereas CR1 identified using a DAKO monoclonal antibody (C3RTo5) was present at normal levels.
