Anti-perinuclear factor compared with the so called "antikeratin" antibodies and antibodies to human epidermis filaggrin, in the diagnosis of arthritides.
OBJECTIVE Antiperinuclear factor (APF), "antikeratin antibodies" ("AKA"), and antibodies to human epidermis filaggrin (AFA), are highly specific serological markers of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), which recognise epitopes on various isoforms of (pro)filaggrin. It was proposed that these antibodies are globally named antifilaggrin autoantibodies. Here the diagnostic value of the detection of each ...
متن کاملThe antiperinuclear factor and the so-called antikeratin antibodies are the same rheumatoid arthritis-specific autoantibodies.
The so-called antikeratin antibodies (AKA) and the antiperinuclear factor (APF) are the most specific serological markers of RA. Using indirect immunofluorescence, AKA label the stratum corneum of various cornified epithelia and APF the keratohyalin granules of human buccal mucosa epithelium. We recently demonstrated that AKA recognize human epidermal filaggrin. Here, we report the identificati...
متن کاملImmunoblotting detection of so-called 'antikeratin antibodies': a new assay for the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis.
OBJECTIVES To assess the diagnostic value for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), of an immunoblotting assay based on the rat oesophagus epithelium antigens recognised by the so-called 'antikeratin antibodies' ('AKA'), antigens that have been identified as three non-cytokeratin proteins (referred to as A, B and C proteins). METHODS After polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in non-denaturing conditions ...
متن کاملHigh diagnostic value in rheumatoid arthritis of antibodies to the stratum corneum of rat oesophagus epithelium, so-called 'antikeratin antibodies'.
Serum antibodies to the stratum corneum of rat oesophagus epithelium, so-called 'antikeratin antibodies', have been largely demonstrated in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). IgM and IgG antibodies to this epithelium were studied by semiquantitative immunofluorescence in 528 patients with perfectly characterised rheumatic diseases, including 178 with classical or definite RA. Histological analysis of I...
متن کاملThe Role of Anti-CCD Antibodies in Grape Allergy Diagnosis
Background: Allergens are mostly composed of glycoprotein structures. It is believed that glycan-specific antibodies may lead to false-positive reactions in immunoassays. In this study we investigated the glycosylation state of grape allergens as well as the presence of antibodies to cross-reactive carbohydrate determinants (anti-CCDs) in sera from grape-sensitive individuals. Methods: Grape...
