Neoepitopes in Type 1 Diabetes: Etiological Insights, Biomarkers and Therapeutic Targets
The mechanisms underlying type 1 diabetes (T1D) pathogenesis remain largely unknown. While autoantibodies to pancreatic beta-cell antigens are often the first biological response and thereby a useful biomarker for identifying individuals in early stages ...

Infectious diseases and autoimmunity [PDF]
Introduction: Autoimmunity occurs when the immune system recognizes and attacks host tissue. In addition to genetic factors, environmental triggers (in particular viruses, bacteria and other infectious pathogens) are thought to play a major role in the ...

Arginine mutation alters binding of a human monoclonal antibody to antigens linked to systemic lupus erythematosus and the antiphospholipid syndrome [PDF]
Objective: Previous studies have shown the importance of somatic mutations and arginine residues in the complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) of pathogenic anti-double-stranded DNA (anti-dsDNA) antibodies in human and murine lupus, and in studies of

Microarray ELISA for Autoantibody Screening in Connective Tissue Diseases [PDF]
Objective: This study was performed to demonstrate the use of an ELISA-based microarray technology which is termed as ‘PictArrays’, to identify autoantibody expression patterns in patients with symptoms of autoimmune connective tissue disease ...

Gad65 is recognized by t-cells, but not by antibodies from nod-mice [PDF]
Since the 64kDa-protein glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) is one of the major autoantigens in T-cell mediated Type 1 diabetes, its relevance as a T-cell antigen needs to be clarified. After isolation of splenic T-cells from non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice,

Emerging immunopharmacological targets in multiple sclerosis. [PDF]
Inflammatory demyelination of the central nervous system (CNS) is the hallmark of multiple sclerosis (MS), a chronic debilitating disease that affects more than 2.5 million individuals worldwide. It has been widely accepted, although not proven, that the

Autoantigenicity of nucleolar complexes [PDF]
Autoantibodies targeting nucleolar autoantigens (ANoA) are most frequently found in sera from patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc, also designated scleroderma) or with SSc overlap syndromes. During the last decade an extensive number of nucleolar components have been identified and this allowed a more detailed analysis of the identity of nucleolar ...

Bullous pemphigoid autoantibodies
Autoimmune blistering skin disorders are rare. According to direct immunofluorescence studies, three categories are described: pemphigus group, pemphigoid group and dermatitis herpetiformis.
