BackgroundBased on different genetic and environmental risk factors and histology, it has been proposed that rheumatoid arthritis (RA) consists of 2 types: autoantibody-positive and autoantibody-negative RA. However, until now, this remained hypothetical.

Positive Predictive Value of Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein Autoantibody Testing
Key Points Question What is the positive predictive value of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG)–IgG1 testing in a clinical setting? Findings Of 1260 consecutive patients tested for MOG-IgG1 at the Mayo Clinic over 2 years, 92 (7.3%) were positive,

Autoantibody-Specific Signalling in Pemphigus
Pemphigus is a severe autoimmune disease impairing barrier functions of epidermis and mucosa. Autoantibodies primarily target the desmosomal adhesion molecules desmoglein (Dsg) 1 and Dsg 3 and induce loss of desmosomal adhesion.

Use of thymidine kinase 1 autoantibody, thymidine kinase antigen, extracellular protein kinase A autoantibody, and C-reactive protein for early detection of malignant tumors in dogs. [PDF]
Background Although the importance of early diagnosis of malignant tumors is a major concern, an easily accessible in‐house method has not been established.

Anti-Myxovirus Resistance Protein-1 Immunoglobulin A Autoantibody in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
Background. We have previously analysed serum autoantibody levels in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), idiopathic nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (iNSIP), and healthy controls and identified the autoantibody against anti-myxovirus ...

A Mathematical Model of Thyroid Disease Response to Radiotherapy [PDF]
We present a mechanistic biomathematical model of molecular radiotherapy of thyroid disease. The general model consists of a set of differential equations describing the dynamics of different populations of thyroid cells with varying degrees of damage caused by radiotherapy (undamaged cells, sub-lethally damaged cells, doomed cells, and dead cells), as

First-emerging islet autoantibody and glucose metabolism: search for type 1 diabetes subtypes
Objective: Subtypes in type 1 diabetes pathogenesis have been implicated based on the first-appearing autoantibody (primary autoantibody). We set out to describe the glucose metabolism in preclinical diabetes in relation to the primary autoantibody in ...
