Autocitrullination confers monocyte chemotactic properties to peptidylarginine deiminase 4

Scientific Reports, 2023
Peptidylarginine deiminase 4 (PAD4) contributes to the production of citrullinated proteins as autoantigens for anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). PAD4 can also self-deiminate via autocitrullination.

Llama-Derived Single Domain Antibodies to Build Multivalent, Superpotent and Broadened Neutralizing Anti-Viral Molecules [PDF]

, 2011
For efficient prevention of viral infections and cross protection, simultaneous targeting of multiple viral epitopes is a powerful strategy. Llama heavy chain antibody fragments (VHH) against the trimeric envelope proteins of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (

Anti-GD1a antibodies activate complement and calpain to injure distal motor nodes of Ranvier in mice [PDF]

, 2010
The motor axonal variant of Guillain-Barré syndrome is associated with anti-GD1a immunoglobulin antibodies, which are believed to be the pathogenic factor. In previous studies we have demonstrated the motor terminal to be a vulnerable site.

Evolution of anti-modified protein antibody responses can be driven by consecutive exposure to different post-translational modifications

Arthritis Research & Therapy, 2021
Background Besides anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA), rheumatoid arthritis patients (RA) often display autoantibody reactivities against other post-translationally modified (PTM) proteins, more specifically carbamylated and acetylated proteins.

Platelets derived citrullinated proteins and microparticles are potential autoantibodies ACPA targets in RA patients

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
Citrullinated neoepitopes have emerged as key triggers of autoantibodies anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) synthesis in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients.

Anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies are a collection of anti-citrullinated protein antibodies and contain overlapping and non-overlapping reactivities

, 2011
Objective Anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) antibodies are a hallmark of rheumatoid arthritis and are believed to play a role in disease pathogenesis.

Anti-neurofascin antibodies [PDF]

, 2012
Neurofascin (NF) is a cell-adhesion molecule that is found at the nodes of Ranvier. The 186 kDa isoform of neurofascin (NF186) is expressed on the axon in the exposed node, and the 155 kDa isoform (NF155) is expressed on myelinating glia at the ...

Anti-Carbamylated Protein Antibodies as a Reproducible Independent Type of Rheumatoid Arthritis Autoantibodies. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
A large fraction of the patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) develop specific autoantibodies, which until recently were only of two types, rheumatoid factor (RF) and anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA).

Abatacept reduces disease activity of rheumatoid arthritis independently of modulating anti-citrullinated peptide antibody production

Immunological Medicine, 2020
Abatacept may exert its clinical effect on rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by suppressing anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) antibody production. This study was undertaken to test this hypothesis by examining the changes of disease activity of RA and anti-
