Antinuclear human autoantibodies as markers in Nicotiana tabacum pollen tubes
In the present paper we report on the use of antinuclear human autoantibodies as specific markers in Nicotiana tabacum pollen tubes. The antibodies have been tested by fluorescence techniques using a confocal laser scanning microscope. All the antibodies

Agreement of three commercial anti-extractable nuclear antigen tests: EUROASSAY Anti-ENA Profile, Polycheck Autoimmune Test and FID Connective Profile [PDF]
BackgroundDetection of antibodies to extractable nuclear antigens (ENAs) is needed for the diagnosis in systemic autoimmune diseases. In this study, we compared three reagents using line immunoblot assay (LIA) or multiplex bead immunoassay for detecting ...

The Past, Present, and Future in Antinuclear Antibodies (ANA)
Autoantibodies are a hallmark of autoimmunity and, specifically, antinuclear antibodies (ANAs) are the most relevant autoantibodies present in systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases (SARDs).

γδ T cells affect IL-4 production and B-cell tolerance [PDF]
γδ T cells can influence specific antibody responses. Here, we report that mice deficient in individual γδ T-cell subsets have altered levels of serum antibodies, including all major subclasses, sometimes regardless of the presence of αβ T cells.

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 ...

Antinuclear antibodies in postinfectious smell loss - a pilot study [PDF]
Background: Numerous diseases are mediated by autoimmune mechanisms some of which have been shown to be associated with reduced olfactory function, e.g. systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjögren syndrome, psoriasis vulgaris.

A Randomized, Placebo‐Controlled Trial of Hydroxychloroquine in Incomplete Lupus
Objective Patients with features of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who do not fulfill classification criteria can be designated as incomplete lupus erythematosus (ILE). This condition includes individuals with a high risk of progression to SLE. Treatment of ILE may reduce symptoms, severity, and incidence of SLE.
