What Makes an Autoantigen an Autoantigen?
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2005Abstract: Multiple classes of proteins are modified to tailor them for specific physiological roles. The nature of these posttranslational modifications of proteins, as well as the relationships between them including those of the immune system proteins themselves, and immune system responses are reviewed.

Autoimmunity Reviews, 2002
Autoimmune diseases frequently manifest themselves in fulminating immune reactions involving T and B cells that lead to the appearance of circulating autoantibodies. Such antibodies are considered to be of diagnostic relevance and may be pathognomonic for their associated autoimmune diseases.

Molecular Biology Reports, 1996
The major cellular antigens recognized by autoantibodies in SLE and other systemic autoimmune diseases have been identified and characterized over the past 25 years. The pioneering studies of Eng Tan demonstrate the importance of autoantibodies as diagnostic markers.

Transmissibility of characteristic lesions to experimental animals may help us understand the pathomechanism of human autoimmune disease. Here we show that human autoimmune disease can be reproduced using genetically engineered model mice. Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is the most common serious autoimmune blistering skin disease, with a considerable body of

The role of autoantigen in autoimmunity
Immunology Letters, 1987Autoimmunity in disease is driven by autoantigen. Cell surface molecules may stimulate autoreactive T-helpers if class II MHC is expressed; special factors may predispose to the ease of class II induction. Soluble autoantigens may be focused by primed B cells and processed for presentation to T cells.

Characterization of the autoantigen calreticulin
The Journal of Immunology, 1991Abstract Anti-Ro/SS-A antibodies are commonly found in the sera of patients with Sjögren’s syndrome and SLE. These antibodies also occur in the mothers of children with neonatal lupus and congenital heart block. Ro/SS-A is a ribonucleoprotein complex whose cellular function remains unknown.

Thyroid Peroxidase as an Autoantigen
Thyroid, 2007Thyroid peroxidase (TPO) evokes high-affinity, IgG-class autoantibodies [TPO autoantibodies (TPOAbs)] and TPO-specific T cells that are markers of thyroid infiltration or implicated in thyroid destruction, respectively. A diverse repertoire of human monoclonal TPOAbs, unparalleled in other autoimmune diseases, provides invaluable probes for ...

GAD65 as a prototypic autoantigen
Journal of Autoimmunity, 2008The repertoire of known autoantigens is limited to a very small proportion of all human proteins, and the reason why only some proteins become autoantigens is unclear, but is likely associated with structural features. The 65kDa isoform of the enzyme glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD65) is a major autoantigen in type I diabetes, and in various ...

Autoantigens in thyroid diseases
Springer Seminars in Immunopathology, 1993The autoantigens involved in autoimmune thyroid disease have now been extensively characterised, and the autoantibodies they evoke provide important aids to diagnosis, leading to early treatment of thyroid autoimmunity. The next stage in the puzzle is to determine towards which epitopes on the autoantigens the immune response is directed.

Ubiquitination of Ro52 autoantigen
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2002Anti-Ro/SSA antibodies are antinuclear antibodies most commonly found in patients with Sjögren's syndrome, a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by dryness of the eyes and mouth. The autoantibodies recognize a RING-finger protein, Ro52/SSA (52 kDa), whose function is still unknown. In this study, the ubiquitination of Ro52 was investigated.
