Novel prokaryotic expression of thioredoxin-fused insulinoma associated protein tyrosine phosphatase 2 (IA-2), its characterization and immunodiagnostic application [PDF]
Background The insulinoma associated protein tyrosine phosphatase 2 (IA-2) is one of the immunodominant autoantigens involved in the autoimmune attack to the beta-cell in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus.

A Case for Anti‐IgE Vaccination
ABSTRACT Immunoglobulin E (IgE) plays a central role in allergic diseases by binding to the high‐affinity receptor FcεRI on mast cells and basophils, where allergen‐induced crosslinking triggers potent inflammatory responses. Various mechanisms by which IgE responses are generated and functionally regulated remain elusive despite many years of research.

Rat models of autoimmune uveitis [PDF]
Experimental autoimmune uveitis ( EAU) in Lewis rats is a well-established model for human uveitis. During the last years we used this model to demonstrate extraocular induction of uveitis by antigenic mimicry of environmental antigens with retinal ...

Imaging mass cytometry shows lupus panniculitis lesions are dominated by cytotoxic and skin‐homing T cells with abundant macrophages and B‐cell aggregates. Spatial neighborhood analysis reveals organized leukocyte architecture, including B‐cell proximity to naïve T cells and M1 macrophages to cytotoxic T cells.

The Role of Inflammation in Infant Colic—A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis
ABSTRACT Aim Despite being a self‐limiting condition, infant colic is associated with negative consequences for caregivers and infants. Gut inflammation is hypothesised as a contributing factor. We collected and meta‐analysed the most recent evidence on the association between infant colic and gut inflammation.

Genetics and Omics Analysis of Autoimmune Skin Blistering Diseases
Autoimmune blistering diseases (AIBDs) of the skin are characterized by autoantibodies against different intra-/extracellular structures within the epidermis and at the basement membrane zone (BMZ). Binding of the antibodies to their target antigen leads

Multigene Next-Generation Sequencing Panel Identifies Pathogenic Variants in Patients with Unknown Subtype of Epidermolysis Bullosa: Subclassification with Prognostic Implications [PDF]
Purpose: Epidermolysis bullosa (EB), the prototype of heritable blistering diseases, is caused by mutations in as many as 19 distinct genes. In this study, we evaluated the molecular basis of EB in 93 families, many of them of unknown subtype. Methods:

A case of canine urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder with skull and skeletal metastases
Canine urinary bladder neoplasia is uncommon, representing less than 1% of canine neoplasms. Amongst cases of urinary bladder neoplasia in dogs, primary urothelial carcinoma is the most frequent. Urothelial carcinomas are malignant invasive tumours which tend to be slow growing and metastasise late.
