Novel prokaryotic expression of thioredoxin-fused insulinoma associated protein tyrosine phosphatase 2 (IA-2), its characterization and immunodiagnostic application [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Background The insulinoma associated protein tyrosine phosphatase 2 (IA-2) is one of the immunodominant autoantigens involved in the autoimmune attack to the beta-cell in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus.

Autoantibody-Targeted Treatments for Acute Exacerbations of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Background Severe acute exacerbations (AE) of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) are medically untreatable and often fatal within days. Recent evidence suggests autoantibodies may be involved in IPF progression.

Skin Barrier and Autoimmunity—Mechanisms and Novel Therapeutic Approaches for Autoimmune Blistering Diseases of the Skin

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2019
One of the most important functions of the skin besides regulating internal body temperature includes formation of the barrier between the organism and the external environment, hence protecting against pathogen invasion, chemical and physical assaults ...

Flexible Bayesian additive joint models with an application to type 1 diabetes research [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2016
The joint modeling of longitudinal and time-to-event data is an important tool of growing popularity to gain insights into the association between a biomarker and an event process. We develop a general framework of flexible additive joint models that allows the specification of a variety of effects, such as smooth nonlinear, time-varying and random ...

Mechanisms of Autoantibody Production in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Hereditary Multiple Osteochondromas and Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia: A Possible Role for EXT1 and EXT2 in Hematopoietic Malignancies

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hereditary multiple osteochondromas (HMO) is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by heterozygous deleterious variants in the EXT1 or EXT2 genes. While the clinical core phenotype is well established and mainly consists of bone deformities, limb length discrepancies, multiple benign bone neoplasms, and increased risk of chondrosarcoma, the ...

Therapeutic plasma exchange in adolescent and adult patients with autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcal infections

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Apheresis, Volume 37, Issue 6, Page 597-599, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcal (PANDAS) infections and pediatric acute‐onset neuropsychiatric syndrome (PANS) are typically diagnosed in childhood. Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) has been recommended to remove relevant antibodies and treat symptomatic presentations in children and adolescents ...

Comment on 'AIRE-deficient patients harbor unique high-affinity disease-ameliorating autoantibodies'

open access: yeseLife, 2019
The AIRE gene plays a key role in the development of central immune tolerance by promoting thymic presentation of tissue-specific molecules. Patients with AIRE-deficiency develop multiple autoimmune manifestations and display autoantibodies against the ...

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

open access: yesarXiv, 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.
