Buccal Mucosa as Substrate for Direct Immunofluorescence Should Be Included Early in the Diagnostic Work Up of Ocular Mucous Membrane Pemphigoid

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background In ocular mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP) direct immunofluorescence (DIF) represents the gold standard for definitive diagnosis. However, up to 50% of ocular MMP cases do not meet the immunopathological criteria. In addition, the risk of exacerbating conjunctival cicatrization makes ocular biopsy technically difficult to obtain ...

Triggers of Autoimmunity: The Role of Bacterial Infections in the Extracellular Exposure of Lupus Nuclear Autoantigens

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
Infections are considered important environmental triggers of autoimmunity and can contribute to autoimmune disease onset and severity. Nucleic acids and the complexes that they form with proteins—including chromatin and ribonucleoproteins—are the main ...

Heterogeneity of autoreactive T cell clones specific for the E2 component of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex in primary biliary cirrhosis. [PDF]

, 1995
The extraordinary specificity of bile duct destruction in primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) and the presence of T cell infiltrates in the portal tracts have suggested that biliary epithelial cells are the targets of an autoimmune response.

Forsythiaside A Alleviates Kidney Injury and Intestinal Epithelium Dysfunction in IgA Nephropathy by Inhibiting TLR4/NF‐κB Signaling

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT IgA nephropathy (IgAN), the most common form of glomerulonephritis, is a major and growing public health issue. It results from intestinal barrier dysfunction that leads to mesangial deposition of pathogenic galactose‐deficient IgA1 (Gd‐IgA1) and renal inflammation.

Current Cell/Organoid and Animal Models for Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic cholestatic liver disease with limited therapeutic options and a marked risk of progression to biliary fibrosis, cirrhosis, and malignancy. Progress in PSC research has been hindered by the lack of models that faithfully recapitulate the complex biliary microenvironment and disease heterogeneity ...

A Spectrum of Neural Autoantigens, Newly Identified by Histo-Immunoprecipitation, Mass Spectrometry, and Recombinant Cell-Based Indirect Immunofluorescence

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
BackgroundA plurality of neurological syndromes is associated with autoantibodies against neural antigens relevant for diagnosis and therapy. Identification of these antigens is crucial to understand the pathogenesis and to develop specific immunoassays.

Harnessing Natural Compounds in Psoriasis: Targeting Cellular Pathways for Effective Therapy

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
Natural compounds act on key cellular pathways in psoriasis by suppressing keratinocyte hyperproliferation, modulating Th17/IL‐17‐mediated immune responses, and reducing oxidative stress. These multi‐target effects highlight their potential as safer adjunctive therapies alongside conventional treatments.
