title: [Circulating anticellular antibodies in male patients: coincidence of antibodies to intermediate filaments and HLA-B27 in Reiter syndrome].
abstract: Evaluating 57 male patients with anticellular antibodies (detected on HEp-2 cells) we could find an association of Reiter's syndrome (17/57), IgG antibodies to intermediate filaments (vimentin type) of the cytoskeleton (17/17) and HLA-B27 (13/17). We conclude, that both, genetic and hormonal factors may influence the humoral immune response in males with Reiter's syndrome. IgG antibodies to intermediate filaments might be precious additional markers for diagnosis of Reiter's syndrome in males.
