Autoantibodies Produced at the Site of Tissue Damage Provide Evidence of Humoral Autoimmunity in Inclusion Body Myositis [PDF]

, 2012
Inclusion body myositis (IBM) belongs to a group of muscle diseases known as the inflammatory myopathies. The presence of antibody-secreting plasma cells in IBM muscle implicates the humoral immune response in this disease.

Muscle Ultrasound in Inclusion Body Myositis: Integrating Qualitative and Quantitative Approaches With Clinical and MRI Findings

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Inclusion body myositis (IBM) is an inflammatory myopathy with an insidious onset, often making diagnosis challenging. Although neuroimaging has recently been included in diagnostic criteria, the role of muscle ultrasound—despite being a rapid and cost‐effective tool—in IBM has been less extensively characterized.

Autoantibodies against a 43 KDa muscle protein in inclusion body myositis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
BACKGROUND: Inclusion body myositis (IBM) is a poorly understood and refractory autoimmune muscle disease. Though widely believed to have no significant humoral autoimmunity, we sought to identify novel autoantibodies with high specificity for this ...
