Anti-beta 2 glycoprotein I IgA in the SLICC classification criteria dataset. [PDF]
Objective Anti-beta 2 glycoprotein I IgA is a common isotype of anti-beta 2 glycoprotein I in SLE. Anti-beta 2 glycoprotein I was not included in the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) SLE classification criteria, but was included in the Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics (SLICC) criteria. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of anti-

PEGylated Domain I of Beta-2-Glycoprotein I Inhibits the Binding, Coagulopathic, and Thrombogenic Properties of IgG From Patients With the Antiphospholipid Syndrome [PDF]
APS is an autoimmune disease in which antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) cause vascular thrombosis and pregnancy morbidity. In patients with APS, aPL exert pathogenic actions by binding serum beta-2-glycoprotein I (β2GPI) via its N-terminal domain I (DI).

Posttranslational forms of beta 2-glycoprotein I in the pathogenesis of the antiphospholipid syndrome. [PDF]
The antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disease characterised by a procoagulant state that predisposes to recurrent thrombosis and miscarriages. Two major discoveries have advanced our understanding of the underlying complex pathogenesis of the APS. The first was the discovery that beta-2 glycoprotein-1 (β2GPI) is the major auto antigen in

Pretransplant IgA-Anti-Beta 2 Glycoprotein I Antibodies As a Predictor of Early Graft Thrombosis after Renal Transplantation in the Clinical Practice: A Multicenter and Prospective Study [PDF]
BackgroundGraft thrombosis is a devastating complication after renal transplantation. We recently described the association of anti-beta-2-glycoprotein-I (IgA-ab2GP1) antibodies with early graft loss mainly caused by thrombosis in a monocenter study ...

beta 2-Glycoprotein I and anti-beta 2-glycoprotein I antibodies: where are we now? [PDF]
beta 2-Glycoprotein I (beta 2-GPI), a plasma protein with in vitro anticoagulant properties, has been recognized to have an important role in the antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) as a cofactor and an (co)antigen in ELISA assays. Although beta 2-GPI levels were found to be increased in some patients with APS, the clinical value of measuring beta 2-GPI ...

The Fifth Domain of Beta 2 Glycoprotein I Protects from Natural IgM Mediated Cardiac Ischaemia Reperfusion Injury. [PDF]
Reperfusion after a period of ischemia results in reperfusion injury (IRI) which involves activation of the inflammatory cascade. In cardiac IRI, IgM natural antibodies (NAb) play a prominent role through binding to altered neoepitopes expressed on ...

Pathogenesis of the obstetric antiphospholipid syndrome: the key role of beta 2 glycoprotein I
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is defined by recurrent pregnancy morbidity and/or vascular thrombosis associated with the persistent presence of antibodies against anionic phospholipid-binding proteins. Beta 2 glycoprotein I (β2GPI) and prothrombin (PT)

Microheterogeneity of beta-2 glycoprotein I: implications for binding to anionic phospholipids [PDF]
Considerable interest is currently focused on the interactions of beta-2 glycoprotein I (β2GPI) and anti-phospholipid antibodies with anionic phospholipids in an attempt to understand the association between these antibodies and clinical diseases such as thrombosis.
