Time‐Dependent Effect of Prophylactic Trimethoprim‐Sulfamethoxazole on the Incidence of Serious Infections in Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody–Associated Vasculitis: A Target Trial Emulation Study

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of prophylactic trimethoprim‐sulfamethoxazole (TMP‐SMX) on the incidence of serious infections in patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody–associated vasculitis (AAV). Methods This multicenter cohort study was designed to emulate a target trial that studied 296 patients with ...

Protein Microarrays with Carbon Nanotubes as Multi-Color Raman Labels [PDF]

arXiv, 2008
Detection of biomolecules is important in proteomics and clinical diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Here, we apply functionalized, macromolecular, single walled carbon nanotubes SWNTs as multi-color Raman labels to protein arrays for highly sensitive, multiplexed protein detection.

Mechanisms of Autoantibody Production in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Frontiers in Immunology, 2015
Autoantibodies against a panoply of self-antigens are seen in systemic lupus erythematosus, but only a few (anti-Sm/RNP, anti-Ro/La, anti-dsDNA) are common.

Mucosa-Environment Interactions in the Pathogenesis of Rheumatoid Arthritis [PDF]

, 2019
Mucosal surfaces play a central role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Several risk factors, such as cigarette smoking, environmental pollution, and periodontitis interact with the host at the mucosal level, triggering immune system ...

Comparative Analysis of Circulating and Synovial Immune Cells in Early Untreated Rheumatoid Arthritis and their relationship with molecular pathology and disease outcomes

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objectives To assess the relationship of circulating and synovial immune cells with synovial molecular pathology and disease outcomes in early Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). Methods Early (<12 months) treatment‐naïve RA patients (n=144) from the Pathobiology of Early Arthritis Cohort (PEAC) were included in this posthoc analysis.

Autoantibody pain

Autoimmunity Reviews, 2016
As autoantibodies bind to target tissues, Fc-region dependent inflammation can induce pain via mediators exciting nociceptors. But recently another possibility has emerged, where autoantibody binding to nociceptors can directly cause pain, without inflammation.

Differences in dynamics of specific anti‐nuclear antibodies and their susceptibility to B cell targeting treatment in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective The presence of anti‐nuclear antibodies (ANAs) is characteristic for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Antibody dynamics over time are thought to reflect the cellular source of ANAs and their therapeutic targetability. Anti‐dsDNA is the most prevalent and well‐studied of all ANAs, and fluctuations in anti‐dsDNA serum levels are associated ...

Ex vivo Culture of Duodenal Biopsies from Patients with Dermatitis Herpetiformis Indicates that Transglutaminase 3 Antibody Production Occurs in the Gut

Acta Dermato-Venereologica, 2017
Coeliac disease and dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) are characterized by autoantibodies targeting transglutaminase (TG)2 and TG3, respectively. Previous studies show that TG2 antibodies are produced in the gut and can be assessed in organ culture of small ...
