Resembling rheumatism.

• r. arthritis — see rheumatoid arthritis.
• r. factor — antibodies, particularly IgM but also IgG, that are directed against antigenic determinants on the Fc region of other immunoglobulins. When the immunoglobulin binds to antigen, changes occur in the folding of the protein of the Fc region such that new, ‘non-self’ antigenic determinants are exposed and it is to these that rheumatoid factors, i.e. other antibodies, are directed.
