Immunoglobulin G4–related Disease

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2019
Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-Related Disease (IgG4-RD) can cause fibroinflammatory lesions in nearly any organ and lead to organ dysfunction and irreversible damage. In addition to frequent involvement of the salivary glands, lacrimal glands, and/or pancreas, IgG4-RD often affects the chest.

Utility of serum immunoglobulin G4 in distinguishing immunoglobulin G4-associated cholangitis from cholangiocarcinoma [PDF]

Hepatology, 2011
Elevated serum immunoglobulin G4 (sIgG4) is a feature of autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) and IgG4-associated cholangitis (IAC); a >2-fold increase in sIgG4 is considered highly specific for these disorders.

Immunoglobulin G4-Associated Cholangitis: One Variant of Immunoglobulin G4-Related Systemic Disease [PDF]

Digestion, 2009
IgG4-associated cholangitis (IAC) is a recently defined disease entity which shares a number of clinical, biochemical, and radiological features with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). In contrast to PSC, IAC responds to immunosuppressive treatment, is not associated with inflammatory bowel disease, and mainly affects elderly men above the age of 60

Retroperitoneal Fibrosis and Immunoglobulin G4 [PDF]

The American Journal of Medicine, 2018
To the Editor: The publication “IgG4 isolated retroperitoneal fibrosis and aneurysmal periaortitis” is interesting.1 In the treatment, the authors forgot to mention tamoxifen as an alternative therapy in patients who cannot take glucocorticoids. Positive responses to tamoxifen alone2 or in combination with glucocorticoids have been reported in patients

Immunoglobulin E and G4 antibodies in cysticercosis [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1990
The importance of immunoglobulin G (IgG) subclass responses in different infections has been elucidated for a number of organisms, but few parasitic organisms have been examined in this regard. In the current study, quantitative radioimmunoassays were used to examine the IgE and IgG4 subclass responses to larval Taenia solium.

Unraveling G‐Quadruplex and i‐Motif Coexistence Within a Double‐Stranded DNA

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The relative thermodynamic profiles of G‐quadruplex (G4), i‐Motif (iM), and the duplex counterpart tune the simultaneous G4 and iM formation within a double‐stranded (ds) DNA. ABSTRACT DNA can transiently fold into variable arrangements, which are expected to exploit regulatory functions. Guanine‐rich sequences can fold into G‐quadruplexes (G4s), while
