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 ...

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 ...

Anticardiolipin and anti-beta-2-glycoprotein I antibodies
The anticardiolipin (aCL) antibody test was first established in 1983, using cardiolipin (negatively charged phospholipid) as an antigen in a solid-phase immunoassAy. It was first applied to the study of systemic lupus erythematosus patients, and was found associated with thromboses and recurrent pregnancy losses.

Immune Complexes of Beta-2-Glycoprotein I and IgA Antiphospholipid Antibodies Identify Patients With Elevated Risk of Thrombosis and Early Mortality After Heart Transplantation [PDF]
Background: The presence of anti-Beta 2 glycoprotein antibodies (aB2GP1) of IgA isotype is common in patients with functional impairment of the organs in which B2GP1 is elaborated.

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

Renal Transplantation Dramatically Reduces IgA Anti-beta-2-glycoprotein I Antibodies in Patients with Endstage Renal Disease [PDF]
IgA anti-beta-2-glycoprotein I (aB2GPI) antibodies have been related to vascular pathology in the general population and mainly in hemodialyzed patients (prevalence 33%) in whom an elevated incidence of thrombosis and mortality is found. In this paper we
