HLA antigens in systemic lupus erythematosus.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Forty-five patients suffering from systemic lupus erythematosus were studied in respect of their serologically defined HLA antigens. HLA-B8 antigen was found in 37-8% of patients as compared to 22% of controls. Individuals carrying the HLA-B8 antigen have a 2-15 times greater risk of developing systemic lupus erythematosus than those not carrying this antigen.

Association of HLA-DRB1 Alleles in Juvenile-onset Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) in Iranian Children
Introduction Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune and inflammatory disease. Many studies show HLA alleles can be associated with SLE. The aim of this study was to determine the association of HLA-DRB1 alleles with juvenile- onset in Iranian children. Materials and Methods At a case – control study, 31 children with systemic lupus erythematosus (case group) who referred to ...
متن کاملConcomitant systemic lupus erythematosus and ankylosing spondylitis.
The case is reported of a 42 year old white woman meeting currently used diagnostic criteria for both ankylosing spondylitis and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). As found in a previously described similar case of a black man, HLA typing showed antigens associated with both SLE and seronegative spondyloarthropathy. This case thus supports the hypothesis that the two diseases occur together on...
متن کاملHLA-DR antigens in systemic lupus erythematosus: association with specificity of autoantibody responses to nuclear antigens.
HLA-DR antigens and autoantibodies to the nuclear or cytoplasmic antigens Ro/SSA, La/SSB, Sm, and RNP were determined in North American and Austrian patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Analysis of the association of antibodies to these ribonucleic acid (RNA)-protein antigens with HLA-DR antigens showed that HLA-DR3 was related to the presence of anti-Ro/SSA or anti-La/SSB, or both...
متن کاملHLA-DR modulates autoantibody repertoire, but not mortality, in a humanized mouse model of systemic lupus erythematosus.
To evaluate the disease-modulating role of HLA-DR2 and DR3 molecules, which have been associated with systemic lupus erythematosus, a humanized mouse model was examined. HLA-DR2 (DRB1*1502)- and DR3 (DRB1*0301)-transgenic mice were backcrossed to the New Zealand Mixed 2410 (NZM 2410, H2(z)) strain. Seventh generation DR2 and DR3 transgene-positive animals along with their transgene-negative lit...
متن کاملAssessment of Association between Duffy Blood Group Phenotypes and Susceptibility to Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and its Severity
Background: Considering the role of Duffy antigenic system expression on RBCs as chemokines for inflammatory cytokines, expression of Duffy antigens as different phenotypes was studied in a group of patients with SLE. The association between different phenotypes of Duffy antigens and occurrence of SLE and its severity was assessed. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 100 pa...
