متن کاملMyositis autoantibodies in Korean patients with inflammatory myositis: Anti-140-kDa polypeptide antibody is primarily associated with rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease independent of clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis
BACKGROUND To investigate the association between myositis autoantibodies and clinical subsets of inflammatory myositis in Korean patients. METHODS Immunoprecipitation was performed using the sera of classic polymyositis (PM) (n = 11) and dermatomyositis (DM) (n = 38) patients who met the Bohan and Peter criteria for definite inflammatory myositis. A panel of defined myositis autoantibodies w...
متن کاملsignificance of myositis - specific and myositis - associated autoantibodies
Autoantibodies to various cellular constituents are detected in the sera of patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM). These autoantibodies are closely associated with characteristic clinical manifestations of the diseases. Therefore, autoantibodies give us much information in clinical diagnosis, classification, prediction of prognosis and choice of treatment in patients with IIM. Du...
متن کاملBiomarkers and Autoantibodies of Interstitial Lung Disease with Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies.
Various autoantibodies are seen in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies. Among myositis-specific antibodies, anti-aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase and anti-melanoma differentiation-associated protein 5 (MDA5) antibodies are associated with interstitial lung disease (ILD). Anti-MDA5 antibodies are associated with dermatomyositis (DM) or clinically amyopathic DM complicated with rapidly progressive ILD. I...
متن کاملPReS-FINAL-2130: Antibodies to MDA5 correlate with a distinct phenotype in children with juvenile dermatomyositis, including higher risk of lung involvement and ulcerative skin disease
Introduction Myositis specific autoantibodies (MSA), exclusively found in patients with Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies can be detected in approximately 60% of children with JDM. Anti-MDA5 antibodies, a subgroup of MSA, appear to be associated with clinically amyopathic myositis, rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (RP-ILD) and a poor prognosis in adult East Asian dermatomyositis p...
