Autoimmune diseases and peptide variations.
The immune system plays an essential role in the defense of the host against invaders. Enormous numbers of lymphocytes are recruited and immense numbers of antibodies or cytokines are secreted in various kinds of immune response. But the system also has the possibility of being the cause of tissue injury or some kind of diseases. For example, when their functions target their host, an autoimmun...
متن کاملAnti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies in ulcerative colitis, and its relation with disease activity
Background : Ulcerative colitis an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and chronically idiopathic immune related that associates with extraintestinal manifestations such as arthritis. Despite of the highly specificity ofanti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) antibodies for rheumatoid arthritis, their role in IBD remains unclear . There are only a few studies on the prevalence of anti-CCP antibo...
متن کاملPrevalence of anti-DFS70 antibodies in patients with and without systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases.
OBJECTIVES Autoantibodies to the dense fine speckled 70 (DFS70) antigen are common among antinuclear antibodies (ANA) positive healthy individuals (HI). We assessed the prevalence of anti-DFS70 antibodies in patients with and without ANA-associated rheumatic diseases (AARDs) by two methods: chemiluminescent immunoassay (CIA) and an indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) assay based on immunoadsorpti...

متن کاملMicroRNAs in autoimmune rheumatic diseases.
The etiology of autoimmune diseases remains largely unknown. In recent years, besides genetic factors, several studies proposed that the epigenome may hold the key to a better understanding of autoimmunity initiation and perpetuation. More specifically epigenetic regulatory mechanisms comprise DNA methylation, a variety of histone modifications, and microRNA (miRNA) activity, all of which act u...
