Resemblance between rhodopsin kinase and S-antigen induced uveitis.
The retinal S-antigen (S-Ag) has been shown to induce uveitis effectively in subhuman primates, and lymphocytes from patients with certain uveitic conditions show cell-mediated responses to this antigen. Rhodopsin kinase (RK), an enzyme probably unique to the mammalian eye, is reported here to resemble the retinal S-Ag in its capacity to induce uveitis in experimental animals. A histological co...
متن کاملHuman S-antigen determinant recognition in uveitis.
PURPOSE Soluble antigen (S-Ag) is a member of the arrestin family of protein with which it shares a high level of homology. It is an immunologically privileged retinal antigen that can elicit experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU) and is thought to be a target for ocular inflammatory diseases. This study was conducted to identify in humans, the immunogenic determinants of human S-Ag and to estab...
متن کاملCorrelation between the physiologic and morphologic changes in experimental autoimmune uveitis induced by peptide G of S-antigen.
PURPOSE The authors followed and correlated the physiologic and morphologic changes occurring in experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU) induced by the peptide G of S-antigen. METHODS EAU was induced in Lewis rats by footpad inoculation of a 13-amino acid synthetic peptide (peptide G) in complete Freund's adjuvant. Electroretinography (ERG) was used to follow the physiologic changes, and light ...
متن کاملAutoimmune uveitis induced by molecular mimicry of peptides from rotavirus, bovine casein and retinal S-antigen.
Antigenic mimicry of infectious agents and autoantigens is a proposed pathomechanism for autoimmune diseases. Here, we describe antigenic mimicry of a peptide from rotavirus, a nutritional protein from bovine milk (alphas2-casein) and a peptide thereof as well as a highly pathogenic peptide from retinal S-antigen (PDSAg), a major autoantigen in experimental autoimmune uveitis in Lewis rats. Imm...
متن کاملLocke ’ s Resemblance Theses
1 Preparatory Remarks Locke asserts that " the Ideas of primary Qualities of Bodies, are Resemblances of them, and their Patterns do really exist in the Bodies themselves; But the Ideas, produced in us by these Secondary Qualities, have no resemblance of them at all. " 1 On an unsophisticated way of taking his words, he means that ideas of primary qualities are like the qualities they represent...
