A novel platform for isotype-specific testing of autoantibodies. [PDF]
The objective of this study was to test if a novel platform could be used for isotype-specific autoantibody testing in humans. Further, we evaluated if testing with this novel platform enables earlier detection of insulin autoantibodies in individuals ...

Autoantibodies Targeting Intracellular and Extracellular Proteins in Autoimmunity
Detecting autoantibodies provides foundational information for the diagnosis of most autoimmune diseases. An important pathophysiological distinction is whether autoantibodies are directed against extracellular or intracellular proteins.

VEGF controls microglial phagocytic response to amyloid-β
Microglial cells are well known to be implicated in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), due to the impaired clearance of amyloid-β (Aβ) protein.

Flow cytofluorimetric analysis of anti-LRP4 (LDL receptor-related protein 4) autoantibodies in Italian patients with Myasthenia gravis [PDF]
Background: Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease in which 90% of patients have autoanti-bodies against the muscle nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR), while autoantibodies to muscle-specific tyrosine kinase (MuSK) have been detected in ...

The significance of preclinical anti-BP180 autoantibodies
Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is the most common autoimmune subepidermal blistering disease. Although the pathomechanism of BP onset has yet to be elucidated in detail, BP autoantibodies targeting two hemidesmosomal components, BP180 and BP230, are known to ...

Angiotensin type-1 receptor and ACE2 autoantibodies in Parkinson´s disease
The role of autoimmunity in neurodegeneration has been increasingly suggested. The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) autoantibodies play a major role in several peripheral inflammatory processes.
