Protective and Pathogenic Antibodies to Citrullinated Antigens
ABSTRACT Autoimmune diseases start years before clinical onset. In rheumatoid arthritis (RA), autoantibodies to citrullinated proteins (ACPA) and to modified IgG (rheumatoid factors, RF) can be detected many years before the inflammatory attack on cartilaginous joints. It has been assumed that these antibodies are pathogenic.

Mapping the Altered Landscape of TCR Repertoire in Autoimmune Diseases
ABSTRACT Autoimmune diseases arise from the breakdown of immune tolerance through complex interactions between genetic predisposition, environmental exposures, and adaptive immune responses. High‐throughput T‐cell receptor (TCR) repertoire sequencing has transformed our ability to characterize these responses, providing unprecedented insights into ...

Activation of Anergic B Cells During Development of Autoimmunity
ABSTRACT In healthy individuals, autoreactive B cells are normally silenced via central and peripheral tolerance mechanisms. In the periphery, when autoreactive B cells recognize self‐antigen via their B cell receptor (BCR) (signal 1) but do not receive T cell help (signal 2), they undergo the tolerance mechanism called anergy.

Tubulointerstitial Nephritis With Uveitis (TINU) Syndrome: A Case Series and Review of Literature
ABSTRACT Tubulointerstitial nephritis with uveitis (TINU) syndrome is a rare disorder characterised by the simultaneous or sequential occurrence of acute tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis, in the absence of systemic disease. Its true prevalence is likely underestimated, as renal and ocular manifestations may not appear concurrently. We conducted

ABSTRACT Background Several studies point towards the involvement of the immune system (especially the monocyte–macrophage system) in the pathophysiology of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), as shown by increased levels of the cytokines tumor necrosis factor (TNF)‐α and interleukin (IL)‐6.
