The Usefulness of Mannan Antigen and Anti-mannan Anti-body in the Diagnosis of Candidemia

, 2023
Abstract Background Candida species are among the important nosocomial infection agents. Since morbidity and mortality are high in invasive candidiasis, early diagnosis is crucial. Hence, rapid serologic tests are needed for diagnosis. One of these methods is the detection of mannan antigen (Mn) and anti-mannan antibody (A-Mn) in the blood ...

Autoreactivity Versus Autoimmunity: Characteristics of Autoantigen‐Specific CD4 T Cells in Rheumatoid Arthritis and Health

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective CD4 T cells specific for citrullinated (cit) peptides are key players in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) immunopathogenesis. Characterizing these cells and identifying features of healthy and RA‐associated autoreactivity will provide valuable insight into disease mechanisms and form the basis of immune state biomarkers to facilitate the next ...
