Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies stimulate release of neutrophil microparticles.
The mechanisms by which anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCAs) may contribute to the pathogenesis of ANCA-associated vasculitis are not well understood. In this study, both polyclonal ANCAs isolated from patients and chimeric proteinase 3-ANCA induced the release of neutrophil microparticles from primed neutrophils. These microparticles expressed a variety of markers, including the ANCA...
متن کاملAnti-Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody in Behçet’s Disease
Anti neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) is strongly associated with some vasculitic disorders. Behçet's disease (BD) is a systemic vasculitis of unknown etiology. In this study, ANCA was found to be positive in 8 out of 66 patients (10.2%) with BD by combination testing consisting of immunofluorescence and ELISA [one patient showed an atypical pattern by indirect immunofloresence techique, ...
متن کاملGenetic aspects of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis.
The genetics of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a complex area of investigation because of the low frequency of AAVs, the rarity of familial cases and the complexity of disease phenotypes. However, recent studies have been able to gather significant numbers of patients, and multicentre collaborative efforts have allowed the performance of two genome-wi...
متن کامل[Treatment of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody related vasculitis].
ANCA-associated vasculitides are a well-known clinico-pathological group of systemic diseases comprising microscopic poliangiitis, granulomatosis with poliangiitis and eosinophilic granulomatosis with poliangiitis. This article shows contemporary treatment of this diseases with extensive literature review. Stepwise treatment of ANCA-associated vasculitides is divided into induction therapy and ...
متن کاملPathological classification of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated glomerulonephritis.
What drives human beings to classify? It seems as if it is within our nature to do so. Clinical classification systems for the systemic vasculitides were composed a long time ago, and they are constantly being revised and altered. The histopathological features of many diseases are so diverse that classification is called for. The histopathological classification for anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic...
