Clinical associations of serum antiendothelial cell antibodies in patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS The role of antiendothelial cell antibodies in systemic vasculitis has been reported. The aim of the study was to define the clinical associations of serum antiendothelial cell antibodies in patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss. STUDY DESIGN A prospective study in patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss. METHODS Serum samples were taken from 59 conse...
متن کاملAntiendothelial cell antibodies mediate enhanced leukocyte adhesion to cytokine-activated endothelial cells through a novel mechanism requiring cooperation between Fc{gamma}RIIa and CXCR1/2.
Antiendothelial cell antibodies (AECAs) are commonly detectable in diseases associated with vascular injury, including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), systemic sclerosis, Takayasu arteritis, Wegener granulomatosis, Behçet syndrome, and transplant arteriosclerosis. Here, we explore the hypothesis that these antibodies might augment polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) adhesion to endothelium in...

Objective: Systemic sclerosis (SS) is a chronic autoimmune disease of connective tissue, which involves skin and internal organs, and results in collagen deposition and fibroblasts activation. Studies have reported a higher risk of malignancy in patients with progressive systemic sclerosis (PSS).The aim of this study is to report a case of tongue squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in a patient with ...
متن کاملAntiendothelial cell antibodies detected by a cellular based ELISA in Kawasaki disease.
Kawasaki disease is an acute vasculitic illness of childhood associated with significant morbidity and mortality. A cellular based enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to demonstrate the presence of antiendothelial cell antibodies in sera from children with Kawasaki disease. Twenty one of 32 patients with Kawasaki disease had raised IgM antibody titres and four had raised IgG anti...
متن کاملIs scleroderma an autoantibody mediated disease?
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Research into the pathogenesis of systemic sclerosis and other fibrotic conditions is becoming increasingly broad and sophisticated. In the past year, several provocative studies have presented evidence that autoantibodies may actually cause the vascular damage and fibrosis characteristic of systemic sclerosis. These autoantibodies include antiendothelial cell, antifibrillin-1...
