Antiphospholipid Antibodies and Reproduction
American Journal of Reproductive Immunology, 1989ABSTRACT: Antiphospholipid antibodies (APAs) may be identified in the laboratory by using either coagulation studies or solid‐phase immunologic assays (ELISA; RIA). These methodologies do not necessarily evaluate the same antibody; consequently, it is appropriate to screen a patient's plasma by utilizing both assays.

Antiphospholipid antibodies and stroke
Current Cardiology Reports, 2004Antiphospholipid antibodies are associated with venous and arterial thrombo-occlusive events, including stroke. They are a heterogeneous family of antibodies that react to negatively charged membrane-bound phospholipids or phospholipid-protein complexes.

Antiphospholipid antibodies and atherosclerosis
Lupus, 1998β2-Glycoprotein I (β2-GPI) is a major antigen for anticardiolipin antibodies (aCL) induced in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome and their antigenic epitopes are cryptic. The epitopes appear on the surface of β2-GPI molecule only when β2-GPI interacts with lipid membranes containing negatively charged phospholipids or polyoxygenated polystyrene ...

Antiphospholipid Antibodies in Children
Seminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis, 1998Lupus anticoagulant (LA) is made up of heterogeneous IgG and IgM antibodies that prolong clotting times in vitro and is associated with an increased rate of both thrombosis and hemorrhage in vivo, although thrombosis is far more common. Many mechanisms of action have been explored, but none explains the coagulation abnormality of every sample tested ...

Dementia and Antiphospholipid Antibodies
Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders, 2000Antiphospholipid antibodies (aPLAb) may cause both focal ischemic and diffuse brain damage and may be associated with dementia. We have examined the relationship of aPLAb to dementia in the elderly. Blood samples were obtained from 87 consecutive patients with dementia (74 ± 11 years old) and 69 controls (78 ± 9 years old), residents of an old age home

Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome
Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2000When the diagnosis of antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (aPS) is being considered in persons who have experienced an ischemic stroke or a transient ischemic attack, it is important to gauge how well the history and laboratory data fit with this diagnosis as opposed to other causes of infarct.

Apoptosis and antiphospholipid antibodies
Seminars in Arthritis and Rheumatism, 1998To analyze the potential links between antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) and apoptosis in the pathogenesis of the antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS).A review was undertaken of the most relevant scientific literature on apoptosis and autoimmune phenomena.

Noncriteria antiphospholipid antibodies in antiphospholipid syndrome
International Journal of Laboratory HematologyAbstractAntiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by thrombotic manifestations and/or obstetric complications in patients with persistently positive antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL). aPL are a heterogeneous group of autoantibodies, but only lupus anticoagulant, anticardiolipin (aCL), and antibeta2‐glycoprotein I antibodies

Antiphospholipid antibodies in paediatrics
European Journal of Pediatrics, 1994Antiphospholipid antibodies, i.e. circulating auto-antibodies to negatively charged phospholipids, are mainly observed in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, but may also occur in individuals who lack evidence of a well-defined systemic disease.

Although significant progress has been made during the last decade in our knowledge of the antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL), there are two major questions in clinical practice that require further guidelines: Indications for aPL determination and laboratory tests to choose. This article reviews the main clinical indications to search for aPL (systemic
