Erythrocytes from 42 systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients and 80 healthy volunteers were tested for the immunoadherence (CR1) receptor reactivity, observed by hemagglutination (IAHA) when incubating erythrocytes and aggregated human gamma-globulin (AHGG)-complement in appropriate proportions. Reactivity was expressed as the highest two-fold dilution of AHGG (2n) that induced hemagglutination. Erythrocytes of 15 SLE patients (35.7%) showed reactivity compared with 70 normal controls (87.5%). Both groups showed a trimodal distribution of IAHA titers in accordance with the three phenotypic groups described by other authors. Of the healthy population 72.5% belong to the intermediate reactivity mode (2(6) to 2(8)) and 64.3% of the SLE patients to the low reactivity group (negative). There was no correlation between CR1 defective expression and conventional activity parameters. This erythrocyte receptor involved in the immunocomplex clearance process, which constitutes 95% of the circulating CR1, is another factor that contributes to the pathophysiology of the disease when it is defective.
