Definition of Human Apolipoprotein A-I Epitopes Recognized by Autoantibodies Present in Patients with Cardiovascular Diseases*
Autoantibodies to apolipoprotein A-I (anti-apoA-I IgG) have been shown to be both markers and mediators of cardiovascular disease, promoting atherogenesis and unstable atherosclerotic plaque. Previous studies have shown that high levels of anti-apoA-I IgGs are independently associated with major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with myocardial infarction. Autoantibody responses to apoA...
متن کاملAutoantibodies to brain components and antibodies to Acinetobacter calcoaceticus are present in bovine spongiform encephalopathy.
Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) is a neurological disorder, predominantly of British cattle, which belongs to the group of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies together with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), kuru, and scrapie. Autoantibodies to brain neurofilaments have been previously described in patients with CJD and kuru and in sheep affected by scrapie. Spongiform-like changes h...
متن کاملCentromere-encoded RNAs are integral components of the maize kinetochore.
RNA is involved in a variety of chromatin modification events, ranging from large-scale structural rearrangements to subtle local affects. Here, we extend the evidence for RNA-chromatin interactions to the centromere core. The data indicate that maize centromeric retrotransposons (CRMs) and satellite repeats (CentC) are not only transcribed, but that nearly half of the CRM and CentC RNA is tigh...
متن کاملBeta-arrestin and arrestin are recognized by autoantibodies in sera from multiple sclerosis patients.
Multiple sclerosis (MS), one of the most common chronic neurologic diseases, is characterized by the presence of multiple plaques of demyelination throughout the central nervous system. Although the etiology of the disease has not been established, it is believed to involve autoimmune mechanisms. We have examined sera from patients with MS for the presence of antibodies to antigens from brain a...
متن کاملKinetochore structure, duplication, and distribution in mammalian cells: analysis by human autoantibodies from scleroderma patients
The specificity of the staining of CREST scleroderma patient serum was investigated by immunofluorescence and immunoelectron microscopy. The serum was found to stain the centromere region of mitotic chromosomes in many mammalian cell types by immunofluorescence. It also localized discrete spots in interphase nuclei which we have termed "presumptive kinetochores." The number of presumptive kinet...
