Immunogenicity of autoantigens [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2011
Background Autoantibodies against self-antigens have been associated not only with autoimmune diseases, but also with cancer and are even found in healthy individuals.

Post-translational modifications, subcellular relocation and release in apoptotic microparticles: apoptosis turns nuclear proteins into autoantigens. [PDF]

open access: yesFolia Histochemica et Cytobiologica, 2010
Autoantibodies against particular nuclear components, such as chromatin and snRNPs, are a characteristic feature of the autoimmune disease systemic lupus erythematosus.

Studies on autoantigens in rheumatoid arthritis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
This thesis describes the use of phage display for the isolation of autoantigens in rheumatoid arthritis. The potential of the technology is demonstrated by the isolation of an autoantigen, eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1a1 (eEF 1 (x 1) from a

Enhanced Expression of Autoantigens During SARS-CoV-2 Viral Infection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Immune homeostasis is disturbed during severe viral infections, which can lead to loss of tolerance to self-peptides and result in short- or long-term autoimmunity.

Anti-Idiotypic mRNA Vaccine to Treat Autoimmune Disorders

open access: yesVaccines, 2023
The 80+ existing autoimmune disorders (ADs) affect billions with little prevention or treatment options, except for temporary symptomatic management, leading to enormous human suffering and a monumental financial burden. The autoantibodies formed in most

Immune System, Inflammation and Autoantigens in Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration: Pathological Significance and Therapeutic Importance

open access: yesLife, 2023
Wet age-related macular degeneration (wAMD) is a chronic inflammation-associated neurodegenerative disease affecting the posterior part of the eye in the aging population.

The Role of Heat Shock Proteins in Type 1 Diabetes

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2021
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a T-cell mediated autoimmune disease characterized by recognition of pancreatic β-cell proteins as self-antigens, called autoantigens (AAgs), followed by loss of pancreatic β-cells.

Interferon and autoantigens: intersection in autoimmunity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Interferon (IFN) is a key component of the innate immune response. For reasons that remain incompletely understood, the IFN system is upregulated in several rheumatic diseases, particularly those that feature autoantibody production, such as SLE, Sjögren’

Neutrophils: An Important Player in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research
The immune system contains several different cells that act as the first line of defence, reacting to a broad range of intruders as quickly as possible; an example of such cells is neutrophils. There has been increased focus on neutrophils due to the key

Retinal glycoprotein enrichment by concanavalin a enabled identification of novel membrane autoantigen synaptotagmin-1 in equine recurrent uveitis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Complete knowledge of autoantigen spectra is crucial for understanding pathomechanisms of autoimmune diseases like equine recurrent uveitis (ERU), a spontaneous model for human autoimmune uveitis. While several ERU autoantigens were identified previously,
