The exposure of autoantigens by microparticles underlies the formation of potent inflammatory components: the microparticle-associated immune complexes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Immunoglobulins, antigens and complement can assemble to form immune complexes (IC). ICs can be detrimental as they propagate inflammation in autoimmune diseases.

A Secreted Bacterial Peptidylarginine Deiminase Can Neutralize Human Innate Immune Defenses

open access: yesmBio, 2018
The keystone oral pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis is associated with severe periodontitis. Intriguingly, this bacterium is known to secrete large amounts of an enzyme that converts peptidylarginine into citrulline residues.

Studies on the role of autoantibodies and autoantigens in rheumatoid arthritis and myositis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
A major population of patients affected with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and inflammatory idiopathic myopathies (IIM, collectively called myositis) is characterized by the presence of autoantibodies.

Impact of increased Porphyromonas gingivalis peptidylarginine deiminase (PPAD) T2 variant allele on oral microbiota composition and severity of chronic periodontitis

open access: yesJournal of Oral Microbiology
Background Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) is a keystone pathogen in periodontitis, encoding a unique peptidyl arginine deiminase (PPAD) linked to protein citrullination, a process associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
