Genetic analysis of self-associating immunoglobulin G rheumatoid factors from two rheumatoid synovia implicates an antigen-driven response. [PDF]
Although much has been learned about the molecular basis of immunoglobulin M (IgM) rheumatoid factors (RFs) in healthy individuals and in patients with mixed cryoglobulinemia and rheumatoid arthritis, little is known about the genetic origins of the ...

Objectives Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is usually preceded and likely mediated by autoantibodies to citrullinated proteins (ACPAs) that recognize citrulline residues on multiple proteins. Conversion of arginine into citrulline is performed by enzymes called peptidyl arginine deiminases (PADs).

Anti-idiotypic Antibodies against BP-IgG Prevent Type XVII Collagen Depletion
Bullous pemphigoid (BP) mainly targets type XVII collagen (COL17). Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) is used to treat numerous autoimmune diseases, including BP. The major mechanism of action for IVIG is thought to be its immunomodulatory effect. However,

B cell reductive therapy with rituximab in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. [PDF]
The approach to treating autoimmune disorders is currently undergoing a significant change in focus. As therapies are developed that are more precise in targeting the pathogenesis for these diseases, patients experience significantly fewer side effects ...

Objectives The effect of the shared epitope (SE), and valine at position 11 (Val11) of HLA‐DRB1, on the activation of CD4+ T cells, is expected to be diminished by abatacept, a co‐stimulation blocker. However, published evidence on the value of genetic stratification for abatacept treatment is conflicting.

Background Angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) autoantibody (AT1‐AA) was first identified as a causative factor in preeclampsia. Unlike physiological ligand angiotensin II (Ang II), AT1‐AA can induce vasoconstriction in a sustained manner, causing a ...
