Anti-interleukin 1alpha autoantibodies

Origins of anti-DNA autoantibodies.

Serum soluble interleukin 2 receptor levels in anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies--positive systemic vasculitis.

Systemic vasculitis is characterized by the presence of autoantibodies to neutrophil cytoplasmic antigens (ANCA). The role of T-lymphocytes in systemic vasculitis remains uncertain. In the present study, we attempted to explore the role of T-lymphocytes in systemic vasculitis by measuring the serum soluble interleukin 2 receptor (sIL2R) levels in seven vasculitic patients and comparing the sequ...

Anti-Human Cardiac Myosin Autoantibodies

Intricacies of anti-DNA autoantibodies.

Isotypes of anti-islet autoantibodies.

151 I n this issue of Diabetes Care, Hawa et al. (1) conclude that " the pathogenesis of antigen-specific antibodies in type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes is similar and p robably involves a chronic nonrandom antigen-driven polyclonal B-cell activation that is consistent with a Th1-type immune response. " The data presented also indicate that what are now standard anti-islet autoantibody assay...
