Autoantibodies against retinal proteins in paraneoplastic and autoimmune retinopathy [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Autoimmune retinal degeneration may occur in patients who present with sudden or, less commonly, subacute loss of vision of retinal origin, associated with an abnormal ERG, through the action of autoantibodies against retinal proteins.

Different Hierarchies of Anti–Modified Protein Autoantibody Reactivities in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Anti–citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs) are a hallmark of seropositive rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Yet, the precise disease‐relevant autoantigens that are targeted by ACPAs remains a matter of debate.

Predominant Autoantibody Production by Early Human B Cell Precursors
During B lymphocyte development, antibodies are assembled by random gene segment reassortment to produce a vast number of specificities. A potential disadvantage of this process is that some of the antibodies produced are self-reactive. We determined the

Can unilateral, progressive or sudden hearing loss be immune-mediated in origin? [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to demonstrate that the positivity of nonspecific immunological tests could be found not only in bilateral hearing loss but also in unilateral cases, either sudden or progressive. METHOD: An observational case

Autoantibody Discovery, Assay Development and Adoption: Death Valley, the Sea of Survival and Beyond
Dating to the discovery of the Lupus Erythematosus (LE) cell in 1948, there has been a dramatic growth in the discovery of unique autoantibodies and their cognate targets, all of which has led to the availability and use of autoantibody testing for a ...
