The role of the host—Neutrophil biology
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies: reporting and diagnostic strategies [PDF]
It was with great interest that we read the correspondence of Mahler and Fritzler1 on our recent European Vasculitis Study Group (EUVAS) study describing the performance of immunoassays for antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) in patients with ANCA-associated vasculitides (AAV).2 In their letter, Mahler and Fritzler raise some interesting ...

Inflammatory bowel disease-specific autoantibodies in HLA-B27-associated spondyloarthropathies: Increased prevalence of ASCA and pANCA [PDF]
Aims: An association between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and spondyloarthropathies (SpA) has repeatedly been reported. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether serologic markers of IBD, e. g.

Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA)
Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) are a sensitive and specific marker for ANCA-associated systemic vasculitis. Using indirect immunofluorescence on ethanol-fixed neutrophils, two major fluoroscopic patterns can be recognised: a diffuse cytoplasmic staining (C-ANCA), and a perinuclear/nuclear staining (P-ANCA).

Case Report of Atypical Course of MPO-ANCA Associated Vasculitis
The classic form of vasculitis associated with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies is characterized by progressive severe course, multiple lesions of internal organs and a general treatment strategy.

Utility of serological markers in inflammatory bowel diseases: Gadget or magic? [PDF]
The panel of serologic markers for inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) is rapidly expanding. Although anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae antibodies (ASCA) and atypical perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (P-ANCA) remain the most widely ...

Serum antibodies in first-degree relatives of patients with IBD: A marker of disease susceptibility? A follow-up pilot-study after 7 years [PDF]
Introduction: Various disease-specific serum antibodies were described in patients with inflammatory bowel disease and their yet healthy first-degree relatives.

Diagnostic utility of testing for antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies [PDF]
Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) that target the third neutral serine proteinase (PR3) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) of human neutrophils are associated with primary systemic vasculitis that predominantly affects small and medium blood vessels.1 ...
