Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody pathogenicity revisited: pathogenic versus non-pathogenic anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody.
Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is strongly associated with autoantibodies against myeloperoxidase (MPO) and proteinase 3 (PR3). No clear consensus has been reached on the pathogenicity of these autoantibodies. Animal models for MPO-ANCA, in vitro data suggesting pathogenicity of ANCA, and one case of a neonate showing symptoms of vasculitis after tra...
متن کاملMutational analysis of an autoantibody: differential binding and pathogenicity
We have used site-directed mutagenesis to change amino acid residues in the heavy chain of the pathogenic R4A anti-double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) antibody and have looked for resultant alterations in DNA binding and in pathogenicity. The data demonstrate that single amino acid substitutions in both complementarity determining and framework regions alter antigen binding. Changes in only a few amino...
متن کاملFollicle-stimulating hormone autoantibody is involved in idiopathic spermatogenic dysfunction.
AIM To detect the anti-follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) antibody in idiopathic infertile patients and fertile subjects in order to determine the role of this antibody in patients with spermatogenic dysfunction. METHODS The anti-FSH antibody in serum was detected by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The functional and structural integrity of the sperm membrane was evaluated with ...
متن کاملIL-12 down-regulates autoantibody production in mercury-induced autoimmunity.
In genetically susceptible H-2s mice, subtoxic doses of mercuric chloride (HgCl2) induce a complex autoimmune syndrome characterized by the production of anti-nucleolar IgG Abs, lymphoproliferation, increased serum levels of IgG1 and IgE Abs, and renal Ig deposits. Mercury-induced autoimmunity in H-2s mice provides a useful model for chemically related autoimmunity in humans. The increase in se...
متن کاملClassification of myasthenia gravis based on autoantibody status.
OBJECTIVES To investigate the autoantibody status of patients with myasthenia gravis (MG) and to evaluate its usefulness for disease classification. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study of patients with MG, who have autoantibodies to receptors and ion channels expressed at neuromuscular junctions and in muscles that impair neuromuscular transmission. One of the autoantibodies studied was a recen...
