Autoantibodies in Systemic Vasculitis
Systemic vasculitis is a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by inflammation andnecrosis in the vessel wall. The diagnosis of a systemic vasculitis is challenging, because patients usually present a broad spectrum of manifestations that vary according to the predominant size of vessels affected, organs and systems involved, and the extent of the inflammatory process (1). In systemic ...
متن کاملAutoantibodies in vasculitis
Before the mid-1980s the only autoantibody widely used to assist in diagnosing vasculitic disease was IgG antibody to the alpha(3) domain of the noncollagenous part of type IV collagen (anti-glomerular basement membrane). Since that time, antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCAs) directed at the azurophilic granule proteins proteinase-3 and myeloperoxidase have been established as clinicall...
متن کاملANTINEUTROPHIL CY TOPLASMIC AUTOANTIBODIES IN SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS
Antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies (ANCA) were first described in patients with necrotizing glomerulonephritis. The original observation passed unnoticed until an association was made between ANCA and active Wegener's granulomatosis. Since then, tremendous progress has been made in elucidating the association between ANCA subtypes and clinicopathologic syndromes, and the potential p...
متن کاملGeneration and Evaluation of Monoclonal Autoantibodies in Systemic Lupus Erythematosis
Three murine monoclonal anti-ssDNA autoantibodies have been produced by fusion of spleen cells from NZB/NZW F1 hybrid mice with Sp2/0-Ag 14 murine myeloma cells. Specificity studies characterizing monoclonal anti - ssDNA autoantibodies revealed binding patterns for nucleotides. Clone E-4-1 showed preferential binding with mono-di-and polyguanosine. Clones E-4-4 and E-11-1 specitically bound mon...
متن کامل4. Autoimmunity, vasculitis, and autoantibodies.
Autoimmune diseases are distinct clinical syndromes characterized by various alterations in normal immune responsiveness, such that there is a loss of tolerance to particular host constituents. In most cases, despite years of intense investigation, the etiopathogenic antigens initiating these systemic inflammatory conditions remain undefined. However, a great deal has been learned about the cha...
