Autoantibodies against retinal proteins in paraneoplastic and autoimmune retinopathy [PDF]

, 2004
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.

Antiphospholipid Syndrome: An Antibody‐Mediated Disease With Emerging Therapeutic Opportunities

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune thromboinflammatory disease characterized by vascular thrombosis, pregnancy morbidity, and other manifestations driven by antiphospholipid autoantibodies. In this review, we present a clinical case that illustrates some diagnostic and therapeutic challenges in managing severe, relapsing APS ...

Nasal administration of glutamate decarboxylase (GAD65) peptides induces Th2 responses and prevents murine insulin-dependent diabetes. [PDF]

, 1996
We previously demonstrated that a spontaneous Th1 response against glutamate decarboxylase (GAD65) arises in NOD mice at four weeks in age and subsequently T cell autoimmunity spreads both intramolecularly and intermolecularly.

Loss of TRIM21 drives UVB‐induced systemic inflammation by regulating DNA‐sensing pathways

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Background Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) experience photosensitivity, with exposure to ultraviolet light B (UVB) driving lupus flares and triggering symptoms like joint pain, fatigue, and cutaneous lesions. Although the mechanism(s) linking UVB exposure to systemic effects are unclear, type I interferons (IFNs) are known to play a ...

Evidence for gliadin antibodies as causative agents in schizophrenia. [PDF]

, 2010
Antibodies to gliadin, a component of gluten, have frequently been reported in schizophrenia. Highly immunogenic B cell epitopes along its length are homologous to numerous proteins relevant to schizophrenia, including members of the DISC1 interactome ...

Clonal sharing of CD8+ T‐cells links skin and joint inflammation in psoriatic arthritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is an HLA class I‐associated inflammatory arthritis that develops in up to 30% of people with psoriasis. We tested the hypothesis that skin and joint inflammation in PsA is linked in terms of CD8+ T‐cell phenotype and clonality.

A tolerogenic plasmid inhibits autoantibody production triggered by immunization with human peptidyl arginine deiminase 4.

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objectives Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is usually preceded and likely mediated by autoantibodies to citrullinated proteins (ACPAs) that recognize citrulline residues on multiple proteins. Conversion of arginine into citrulline is performed by enzymes called peptidyl arginine deiminases (PADs).

A comprehensive autoantigen-ome of autoimmune liver diseases identified from dermatan sulfate affinity enrichment of liver tissue proteins

BMC Immunology, 2019
Background Autoimmune diseases result from aberrant immune attacks by the body itself. It is mysterious how autoantigens, a large cohort of seemingly unconnected molecules expressed in different parts of the body, can induce similar autoimmune responses.

Autoantigen-Specific Immunotherapy [PDF]

, 2011
The incidence of type 1 diabetes (T1D) is increasing dramatically and new treatment modalities are needed urgently. Arising from autoimmune destruction of the pancreatic ┚cells, T1D manifests itself when less than 10-20% of functional ┚-cells remain in the islets and is characterized as a disorder of glucose regulation due to the insufficient ...

Comparative Effectiveness of Abatacept versus Adalimumab in Shared Epitope positive and negative Rheumatoid Arthritis patients

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objectives The effect of the shared epitope (SE), and valine at position 11 (Val11) of HLA‐DRB1, on the activation of CD4+ T cells, is expected to be diminished by abatacept, a co‐stimulation blocker. However, published evidence on the value of genetic stratification for abatacept treatment is conflicting.
