Dense fine speckled nuclear immunofluorescence: A mildly reassuring antinuclear antibody pattern meriting consideration

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 11, Issue 9, September 2023., 2023
The hallmark of autoimmune connective tissue diseases is the production of many different circulating antinuclear antibodies. A newly emphasized antinuclear antibody with its dense fine speckled nuclear immunofluorescence pattern may constitute a differentiating factor, with an anti‐DFS70 antibody assay distinguishing healthy people and autoimmune ...

Sensitivity and Specificity of Multiple Kato-Katz Thick Smears and a Circulating Cathodic Antigen Test for Schistosoma mansoni Diagnosis Pre- and Post-repeated-Praziquantel Treatment [PDF]

, 2014
Two Kato-Katz thick smears (Kato-Katzs) from a single stool are currently recommended for diagnosing Schistosoma mansoni infections to map areas for intervention. This ‘gold standard’ has low sensitivity at low infection intensities.

IMMUNODIAGNOSIS IN MEMBRANOUS NEPHROPATHY

Wiadomości Lekarskie, 2020
One of the diseases leading to chronic end-stage renal disease is membranous nephropathy (MN). The main cause of this disease is the formation of antibodies to foreign and native antigens. Membranous nephropathy can be conventionally divided into 2 types: primary form (when the primary disease is unknown) and secondary form.

Serum Autoantibodies against LRDD, STC1, and FOXA1 as Biomarkers in the Detection of Ovarian Cancer

Disease Markers, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Purpose. This study is aimed at evaluating serum autoantibodies against four tumor‐associated antigens, including LRDD, STC1, FOXA1, and EDNRB, as biomarkers in the immunodiagnosis of ovarian cancer (OC). Methods. The autoantibodies against LRDD, STC1, FOXA1, and EDNRB were measured using an enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in 94 OC patients ...

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Objective. This study aimed to investigate the expression and clinical significance of negative costimulatory molecules programmed death‐1 (PD‐1) and programmed death ligand 1 (PD‐L1) on CD4+CD25+CD127low regulatory T cells (Tregs) in peripheral blood of patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). Methods.

Evaluation of immunodiagnostic tests for human gnathostomiasis using different antigen preparations of Gnathostoma spinigerum larvae against IgE, IgM, IgG, IgG1‐4 and IgG1 patterns of post‐treated patients

Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 26, Issue 12, Page 1634-1644, December 2021., 2021
Abstract Objectives The aims of the study were two‐fold: (1) antigen (Ag) preparation and evaluation of three antigens of Gnathostoma spinigerum infective larvae (GsL3), crude somatic antigen (CSAg), excretory‐secretory antigen (ESAg) and partially purified antigens (namely P1Ag, P2Ag and P3Ag) to differentiate IgE, IgG, IgG1–4 and IgM for human ...

Identification of novel autoantibody signatures and evaluation of a panel of autoantibodies in breast cancer

Cancer Science, Volume 112, Issue 8, Page 3388-3400, August 2021., 2021
This is the first study using a customized protein microarray consisting of proteins encoded by cancer driver genes to identify novel TAAb as serological biomarkers for BC. In screening 1197 sera samples, we identified 12 TAAb (ALK, BRCA2, CDKN2A, CEBPA, CEP55, FUBP1, GATA3, HIST1H3B, HRAS, PTCH1, p62, and RalA) that are potential biomarkers of BC. The
