Natural polyreactive immunoglobulin A antibodies produced in mouse Peyer’s patches
To understand the biological function of natural immunoglobulin A (IgA) antibodies in Peyer's patches (PP), we generated IgA monoclonal antibody (mAb) clones from the PP of normal, unimmunized, specific pathogen-free BALB/c mice and examined their reactivities by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Many of these antibodies reacted with more than

Gastric LTi cells promote lymphoid follicle formation but are limited by IRAK-M and do not alter microbial growth. [PDF]
Lymphoid tissue inducer (LTi) cells are activated by accessory cell IL-23, and promote lymphoid tissue genesis and antibacterial peptide production by the mucosal epithelium.

Natural polyreactive secretory immunoglobulin A autoantibodies as a possible barrier to infection in humans [PDF]
Secretory immunoglobulin A (S-IgA) was investigated in human secretions for the presence of natural antibodies (Abs) acting as the first "immune barrier" to infection before induction or boosting of specific responses. These molecules could be the secretory counterpart of the natural Abs in serum that were previously shown by our laboratory to be ...

B-cell dysregulation in Crohn's disease is partially restored with infliximab therapy [PDF]
Background: B-cell depletion can improve a variety of chronic inflammatory diseases, but does not appear beneficial for patients with Crohn's disease. Objective: To elucidate the involvement of B cells in Crohn's disease, we here performed an 'in depth ...

Polyreactive Autoantibodies Purified from Human Intravenous Immunoglobulins Prevent the Development of Experimental Autoimmune Diseases [PDF]
Intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIg) are therapeutic preparations of normal human polyclonal Ig G (IgG) that exert immunomodulatory effects in patients with autoimmune or systemic inflammatory diseases. Two different IgG subfractions were evaluated for their respective immunomodulatory effects in the treatment of experimental autoimmune diseases: a ...

Immunodeficiency in Bloom’s Syndrome [PDF]
Bloom’s syndrome (BS) is an autosomal recessive disease, caused by mutations in the BLM gene. This gene codes for BLM protein, which is a helicase involved in DNA repair.

Rheumatoid factor: a novel determiner in cancer history [PDF]
The possible interplay between autoimmunity and cancer is a topic that still needs to be deeply explored. Rheumatoid factors are autoantibodies that are able to bind the constant regions (Fc) of immunoglobulins class G (IgGs). In physiological conditions,

Evidence for somatic selection of natural autoantibodies. [PDF]
Natural autoantibodies are primarily immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies that bind to a variety of self-antigens, including self-IgG. Accounting for a large proportion of the early B cell repertoire, such polyspecific autoantibodies are speculated to ...
