Multiplexing approaches for autoantibody profiling in multiple sclerosis

open access: yesAutoimmunity Reviews, 2009
The preliminary positive effects of B cell depiction therapy in multiple sclerosis (MS) have renewed interest in a potential role of B cells and autoantibodies in the MS disease process.

Autoantibodies in Diabetes

Diabetes, 2005
Islet cell autoantibodies are strongly associated with the development of type 1 diabetes. The appearance of autoantibodies to one or several of the autoantigens—GAD65, IA-2, or insulin—signals an autoimmune pathogenesis of β-cell killing. A β-cell attack may be best reflected by the emergence of autoantibodies dependent on the genotype risk factors ...

Autoantibodies and epilepsy

Epilepsia, 2011
SummaryIn a substantial number of patients with epilepsy, the etiology of the seizure disorder remains unknown. In recent years, the detection of autoantibodies has contributed to the etiologic understanding of a substantial number of so far unexplained epilepsies.

THYROID AUTOANTIBODIES

Endocrinology and Metabolism Clinics of North America, 2001
Although assays to detect thyroid autoantibodies have been available for more than 40 years, their place in the clinical management of thyroid disease has remained controversial; however, novel automated detection techniques using recombinant antigens are increasing the sensitivity and specificity of the assays, particularly for antibodies to the TSH ...

AUTOANTIBODIES IN SCLERODERMA

Rheumatic Disease Clinics of North America, 1992
The antinuclear and antinucleolar antibodies found in patients with scleroderma are discussed. Many of the autoantigens have been characterized, the cDNA cloned and the epitopes defined. Many of the more common autoantigens are DNA-binding proteins, which are very important in transcription and in cell division.

Natural autoantibodies

Current Opinion in Immunology, 1995
Autoantibodies of the IgM, IgG and IgA classes, reactive with a variety of serum proteins, cell surface structures and intracellular structures, are 'naturally' found in all normal individuals. Present in human cord blood and in 'antigen-free' mice, their variable-region repertoire is selected by antigenic structures in the body and remains conserved ...

Nucleosome autoantibodies

Clinica Chimica Acta, 2006
The nucleosome is a large protein-nucleic acid complex involved in DNA packing and in controlling genetic information. Under circumstances described below, this component, normally sequestered in the cell nucleus, is released into the extracellular milieu and then is easily accessible to cells of the immune system.

Autoantibodies in Scleroderma

The Journal of Dermatology, 1993
AbstractAutoantibodies directed against nuclear, nucleolar, and a number of cytoplasmic components are described in the sera of scleroderma patients. Early studies of autoantibodies that relied on cryopreserved sections of rodent organ substrates showed that approximately 50% of scleroderma patients had anti‐nuclear antibodies (ANA).

Autoantibodies and their idiotypes

Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 1991
Antinuclear antibodies occur prominently in systemic lupus erythematosus and serve as markers of underlying pathogenetic disturbances. Although these antibodies display features indicative of genetic control and in vivo selection by self-antigen, other mechanisms shaping the B-cell repertoire may influence their production.

The origin of autoantibodies

Immunology Letters, 1987
Autoimmune diseases are characterized by the appearance of autoantibodies (autoAb) which may participate in their pathogenesis, but autoAb have also been found in normals with a variety of other conditions. The production of hybridomas from lymphocytes of unimmunized normal mice and healthy humans and analysis of the monoclonal autoAb (m-autoAb ...
