Human monoclonal islet specific autoantibodies share features of islet cell and 64 kDa antibodies [PDF]
The first human monoclonal islet cell antibodies of the IgG class (MICA 1-6) obtained from an individual with Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus were cytoplasmic islet cell antibodies selected by the indirect immunofluorescence test on pancreas

Sex-Specific B Cell and Anti-Myelin Autoantibody Response After Peripheral Nerve Injury
Immunotherapy holds promise as a non-addictive treatment of refractory chronic pain states. Increasingly, sex is recognized to impact immune regulation of pain states, including mechanical allodynia (pain from non-painful stimulation) that follows ...

Conformational stability and domain-specific structural features of tumor autoantigens regulate autoantibody epitope propensity. [PDF]
Abstract Autoantibodies against tumor‐associated autoantigens are clinically valuable biomarkers for cancer diagnosis; however, the structural determinants governing epitope selectivity remain unknown. Here, we investigated whether the intrinsic conformational stability of target autoantigens regulates the epitope propensity of tumor‐associated ...

Inhibition of STAT3 Signaling Reduces IgA1 Autoantigen Production in IgA Nephropathy
IgA nephropathy is a chronic renal disease characterized by mesangial immunodeposits that contain autoantigen, which is aberrantly glycosylated IgA1 with some hinge-region O-glycans deficient in galactose.

Breaking tolerance to the natural human liver autoantigen cytochrome P450 2D6 by virus infection [PDF]
Autoimmune liver diseases, such as autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) and primary biliary cirrhosis, often have severe consequences for the patient. Because of a lack of appropriate animal models, not much is known about their potential viral etiology. Infection

Reduced Competitiveness of Autoantigen-Engaged B Cells due to Increased Dependence on BAFF [PDF]
Peripheral autoantigen binding B cells are poorly competitive with naive B cells for survival and undergo rapid cell death. However, in monoclonal Ig-transgenic mice lacking competitor B cells, autoantigen binding B cells can survive for extended periods.
