Abnormal immunoglobulin and rheumatoid factor synthesis by blood lymphocytes in patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome.

Peripheral blood B lymphocytes from patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome showed significantly higher spontaneous synthesis of IgG, IgM, and IgM rheumatoid factor in vitro, compared with B lymphocytes from healthy controls. Lymphocytes from patients also showed higher IgM rheumatoid factor production after mitogen stimulation. Patients had competent suppressor activity for IgG, but not for IgM synthesis. Pre-irradiation of T cells, but not depletion of OKT8+ cells, markedly enhanced IgG synthesis in cocultures with autologous B cells; therefore, the T lymphocyte responsible for this effect is radiosensitive and is not identified by OKT8. OKT8+ lymphocytes from patients did not suppress Ig synthesis by autologous B plus T cell cocultures. However, OKT8+ cells from normal controls down-regulated Ig synthesis by B plus T cells from patients. The abnormal proportion of helper and suppressor cells suggests that there is altered redistribution of regulatory subpopulations in peripheral blood from Sjögren's syndrome patients.
