Glycoproteins as targets of autoantibodies in CNS inflammation: MOG and more [PDF]
B cells and antibodies constitute an important element in different inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system (CNS). Autoantibodies can serve as a biomarker to identify disease subgroups and may in addition contribute to the pathogenic process.

Insulin autoantibodies as determined by competitive radiobinding assay are positively correlated with impaired beta-cell function — The Ulm-Frankfurt population study [PDF]
Out of a random population of 4208 non-diabetic pupils without a family history of Type I diabetes 44 (1.05%) individuals had islet cell antibody (ICA) levels greater or equal to 5 Juvenile Diabetes Foundation (JDF) units. 39 of these ICA-positives could

Novel enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for bivalent ZnT8 autoantibodies [PDF]
Autoantibodies to zinc transporter 8 (ZnT8A) are a powerful diagnostic or predictive marker in type 1 diabetes. However, the widely used current ZnT8A radioligand binding assay (RBA) has proved to be difficult for many laboratories to implement.

Secretion of celiac disease autoantibodies after in vitro gliadin challenge is dependent on small-bowel mucosal transglutaminase 2-specific IgA deposits [PDF]
Background: In celiac disease gluten, the disease-inducing toxic component in wheat, induces the secretion of autoantibodies which are targeted against transglutaminase 2 (TG2). These autoantibodies are produced in the small-intestinal mucosa, where they

Autoantibodies to insulin, insulinoma-associated antigen-2, and zinc transporter 8 improve the prediction of early insulin requirement in adult-onset autoimmune diabetes [PDF]
Objective: The aim of this study was to indentify the predictive marker for early insulin requirement in adult-onset autoimmune diabetes in the Japanese populations.Design/Patients: We analyzed insulin autoantibodies (IAA), IA-2 autoantibodies (IA-2icA)

Extrapancreatic autoantibody profiles in type I diabetes. [PDF]
Type I diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease characterized by destruction of insulin-producing β-cells in the pancreas. Although several islet cell autoantigens are known, the breadth and spectrum of autoantibody targets has not been fully explored ...

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.

Anticytokine Autoantibodies: Association with Infection and Immune Dysregulation
The association of autoantibodies to cytokines with immune deficiency, autoimmunity and/or immune dysregulation is increasingly being recognized. For example, autoantibodies to interferon gamma have been found to be associated with chronic, treatment ...

Autoantibody profiles in systemic sclerosis; a comparison of diagnostic tests
Objectives Autoimmune antibody profiling plays a prominent role in both classification and prognosis of systemic sclerosis (SSc). In the last years novel autoantibodies have been discovered and have become available in diagnostic assays.
