IL-1β/IL-1Ra ratio dysregulation in islet autoantibody–positive adult-onset diabetes
Frontiers in ImmunologyBackgroundThe IL-1 pathway plays a central role in β-cell dysfunction; however, the relationship between IL-1β/IL-1Ra imbalance and islet autoimmunity in newly diagnosed adult-onset diabetes remains insufficiently defined.

Autoantigen Microarray for High-throughput Autoantibody Profiling in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Genomics, Proteomics & Bioinformatics, 2015 Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune disease characterized by the production of autoantibodies to a broad range of self-antigens. Profiling the autoantibody repertoire using array-based technology has emerged as a powerful tool for ...

Distinct impact of IgG subclass on autoantibody pathogenicity in different IgG4-mediated diseases
eLife, 2022 IgG4 is the least potent human IgG subclass for the FcγR-mediated antibody effector function. Paradoxically, IgG4 is also the dominant IgG subclass of pathogenic autoantibodies in IgG4-mediated diseases.

COMPLEMENT-MEDIATED ADIPOCYTE LYSIS BY NEPHRITIC FACTOR SERA [PDF]
, 1993 Recent data indicate a previously unsuspected link between the complement system and adipocyte biology. Murine adipocytes produce key components of the alternative pathway of complement and are able to activate this pathway.

Low Incidence of Relapses After Vaccination in Anti‐Aquaporin‐4 Antibody‐Positive NMOSD
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) may experience increased signs and symptoms of their underlying disease when vaccinated against meningococcal disease before receiving complement component 5 inhibitor therapies. This retrospective analysis indicated an overall low relapse incidence (mean [range], 3.3% [0.7%–10.6 ...

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Clinical Assessment Scale in Autoimmune Encephalitis (CASE) tracks disease severity in autoimmune encephalitis (AE), but no threshold for significant change exists. We aimed to determine the minimally clinically important difference (MCID) for CASE.

The interference of anti-TSH autoantibody on clinical TSH detection
Frontiers in EndocrinologyObjectiveIt is well known that macro-thyroid-stimulating hormone (macro-TSH) could interfere with the detection of TSH. The anti-TSH autoantibody is an essential component of macro-TSH.

[18F]Fluorodeprenyl‐D2 PET as a Tool to Monitor Disease Activity in GAD65‐Ab Autoimmune Encephalitis
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate [18F]fluorodeprenyl‐D2 ([18F]F‐DED) positron‐emission tomography (PET) imaging as a biomarker of disease activity in autoimmune encephalitis (AIE) associated with glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (GAD65) antibodies. Methods [18F]F‐DED PET was performed in 25 GAD65‐AIE patients and 8 controls using dynamic (0–60 min) and ...
