anti deoxyribonucleic acid and antinuclear antigen antibodies in graves’ disease
graves’ disease is an autoimmune disorder characterized by presence of antibodies directed against thyroid stimulating hormone (tsh) receptor or nearby region. other serological abnormalities like antibodies to double stranded dna (ds–dna) and antinuclear antibodies (ana) have also been observed. we studied antibodies to ds-dna and ana in our patients with graves’ disease and compared them with...
متن کاملImmunomorphological characterisation of antinuclear antibodies in chronic liver disease.
Two immunofluorescence procedures to evaluate antinuclear antibodies were compared in a series of 221 patients with chronic liver disorders of various aetiologies. The use of HEp-2 cells allowed us to discriminate with more confidence between the homogeneous and speckled patterns, to show the presence of associated patterns in the same serum, and, above all, to identify two specificities, unrec...
متن کاملHigh Proportions of People With Nonceliac Wheat Sensitivity Have Autoimmune Disease or Antinuclear Antibodies.
BACKGROUND & AIMS There is much interest in wheat sensitivity among people without celiac disease (CD), but little is known about any risks associated with the condition. We evaluated the prevalence of autoimmune diseases (ADs) among patients with nonceliac wheat sensitivity (NCWS), and investigated whether they carry antinuclear antibodies (ANA). METHODS We performed a retrospective study of...

knowledge of gene regulation, particularly in neoplastic cells, this deficit is striking. With our current understanding of chromosomal translocations, point mutations, and gene amplification in tumor cells, it is surprising to read that there is ". . . no difference between cancer and normal DNA . . ." (p. 130). The author spends a fair amount of time discussing possible mechanisms for the car...
متن کاملInduction of antinuclear antibodies by ultraviolet irradiation.
Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation or exposure to sunlight are well known but poorly understood predisposing factors of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) (Dubois, 1966; Freeman, Knox, and Owens, 1969). It appears from the published literature, that little attention has been paid to what actually occurs when apparently healthy individuals are exposed to UV irradiation. On a molecular level, UV irradi...
