A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of the Recurrence of Autoimmune Encephalitis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Autoimmune encephalitis (AE) is a disease with a potential for recurrence, and patients receive immunotherapy to prevent it. However, there is no consensus on the duration of immunotherapy. This study aimed to determine the recurrence rate and identify the risk factors for AE to provide guidance on the duration of immunotherapy ...

Recurrent blocked duct(s) in a mother with immunoglobulin A deficiency

, 2008
Secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA) is the dominant immunoglobulin in human milk, and apart from the obvious contribution it makes towards the protection of the infant, sIgA may also form an important part of the defense of the mammary gland.

[18F]Fluorodeprenyl‐D2 PET as a Tool to Monitor Disease Activity in GAD65‐Ab Autoimmune Encephalitis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate [18F]fluorodeprenyl‐D2 ([18F]F‐DED) positron‐emission tomography (PET) imaging as a biomarker of disease activity in autoimmune encephalitis (AIE) associated with glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (GAD65) antibodies. Methods [18F]F‐DED PET was performed in 25 GAD65‐AIE patients and 8 controls using dynamic (0–60 min) and ...

A Proposed New Nomenclature for the Immunoglobulin Genes of Mus musculus

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
Mammalian immunoglobulin (IG) genes are found in complex loci that contain hundreds of highly similar pseudogenes, functional genes and repetitive elements, which has made their investigation particularly challenging.

Lateral-Flow Assay for Rapid Serodiagnosis of Human Leptospirosis [PDF]

, 2001
An assay device for the rapid detection of Leptospira-specific immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies in human sera is presented. The sensitivity (85.8%) and specificity (93.6%) of the assay compared well (91.9% agreement) with those of an IgM enzyme-linked ...

Understanding Further the Phenotypic Spectrum of Central Nervous System Inflammatory Demyelinating Disorders Using Unsupervised Clustering

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Central nervous system (CNS) inflammatory demyelinating syndromes, including multiple sclerosis (MS), aquaporin‐4 antibody–positive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (AQP4 + NMOSD), and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody–associated disease (MOGAD), occasionally overlap.

Conditioning murine B cells for immunoglobulin A production In vitro

, 2012
The respiratory mucosa is continuously exposed to a myriad of pathogens and allergens that are inhaled during respiration. B cells of the immune system produce immunoglobulin A (IgA) that protects the respiratory mucosa from inhaled pathogens and ...

Ofatumumab in Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein Antibody–Associated Disease: A Comparison With Rituximab

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ofatumumab in patients with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody–associated disease (MOGAD), and compare it with rituximab. Methods We conducted a single–center, observational study including 22 MOGAD patients treated with ofatumumab and 21 treated with rituximab.
