Epitope mapping of C1 inhibitor autoantibodies from patients with acquired C1 inhibitor deficiency.

Abstract excerpt

We report six patients with acquired C1 inhibitor (C1-inh) deficiency associated with serum C1-inh autoantibodies and circulating cleaved (96 kDa), functionally inactive C1-inh. In three patients, all of whom had IgG-kappa paraproteins in their sera, the Abs were IgG-kappa. In the remaining three patients, the Abs were IgM (2 kappa, 1 lambda). These data suggest that all the Abs were monoclonal. The...
