Maternally Transferred Antibodies Blistering Skin Disease Model Induced by A Novel Humanized Neonatal Autoimmune
All mammal neonates receive maternal Abs for protection against pathogenic organisms in the postnatal environment. However, neonates can experience serious adverse reactions if the Abs transferred from the mother recognize self-molecules as autoAgs. In this study, we describe a novel model for autoimmune disease induced by transferred maternal Abs in genetically transformed Ag-humanized mice pr...
متن کاملDoxycycline-Inducible Autoimmune Blistering Skin Disease Model
W. Nishie , M.D., Ph.D. • H. Shimizu , M.D., Ph.D. (*) Department of Dermatology , Hokkaido University Graduate School of Medicine , N15W7, Kita-ku , Sapporo 003-0835 , Japan e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is the most common autoimmune blistering disorder. BP autoantibodies target two hemidesmosomal components, collagen XVII (COL17) and BP230, with autoimmuni...
متن کاملNanorobotic Investigation Identifies Novel Visual, Structural and Functional Correlates of Autoimmune Pathology in a Blistering Skin Disease Model
There remain major gaps in our knowledge regarding the detailed mechanisms by which autoantibodies mediate damage at the tissue level. We have undertaken novel strategies at the interface of engineering and clinical medicine to integrate nanoscale visual and structural data using nanorobotic atomic force microscopy with cell functional analyses to reveal previously unattainable details of autoi...
متن کاملMolecular Diagnosis in Autoimmune Skin Blistering Conditions
Blister formation in skin and mucous membranes results from a loss of cell-cell or cell-matrix adhesion and is a common outcome of pathological events in a variety of conditions, including autoimmune and genetic diseases, viral and bacterial infections, or injury by physical and chemical factors. Autoantibodies against structural components maintaining cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesion induce ...
متن کاملEggshell Spottiness Reflects Maternally Transferred Antibodies in Blue Tits
Blue-green and brown-spotted eggshells in birds have been proposed as sexual signals of female physiological condition and egg quality, reflecting maternal investment in the egg. Testing this hypothesis requires linking eggshell coloration to egg content, which is lacking for brown protoporphyrin-based pigmentation. As protoporphyrins can induce oxidative stress, and a large amount in eggshells...
