چکیده

32 patients (19 female. 13 male)• suffering from graves' disease with exophthalmus and five without exophthalmus were studied for various autoantibodies including anti-thyroglobulin (atab). anti-microsomal antibody (amab). anti-parietal antibodies (apab) and also circulating immune complex (crc). 43 normal subjects were tested concurrently. immunofluorescent technique was employed for autoantibody detection. frozen sections of human thyroid tissue and rat stomach were utilized as antigen sources for thyroid and parietal cic estimated by peg (polyethylene glycol) precipitation method and the specific classes of immunoglobulins were detected by srld (single radial immunodiffusion). the results were analyzed statistically. from the point of view of presence of antibodies. there were significant differences between patients and control groups (p= 0.(05). comparing graves' with or without exophthalmus. no significant difference was seen between autoantibody levels. but higher titers of cic were elucidated in the latter group. we will discuss that autoantibodies have an important role in thyroid autoimmune diseases and also that cic may have a critical role in the pathogenesis of exophthalmus associated with graves' disease

Autoantibodies against retinal bipolar cells in cutaneous melanoma-associated retinopathy.

PURPOSE This study's goal was to determine the pathophysiology of the retinopathy that occurs in patients with metastatic cutaneous melanoma and sudden onset of night blindness, the so-called melanoma-associated retinopathy (MAR) syndrome. We tested the hypothesis that sera from two MAR patients contained autoantibodies that reacted with "on" bipolar cells of the human retina. METHODS Immunof...

Autoantibodies against CD80 in patients with COPD

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an inflammation disorder and possibly an autoimmune disease. The components of the autoimmune response in the circulatory system are of considerable interest to clinicians. Because aberrations of costimulation status have been noted in COPD, the presence of autoantibodies to B7 costimulatory factor CD80 were investigated in a cohort of patients. R...
