Auto-antibodies in Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease Unclassified
Background: Inflammatory bowel disease unclassified (IBDU) is considered to be an aberrant immune response with loss of tolerance to many antigens. Objective: This paper tries to address whether there is any value to test for auto-antibodies in such patients. Methods: 60 patients with inflammatory bowel disease unclassified participated in the study. Auto-antibodies to nuclear antigen, intestin...
متن کاملAntineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies in Patients with Pulmonary Tuberculosis
Background: Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a major cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Infection with this bacterium is known to induce the development of autoantibodies of which a few are also known to be diagnostic markers for some other diseases. Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies (ANCA's) are among those autoantibodies used in clinical setting for diagnosing systemic vasculitic sy...
متن کاملANTINEUTROPHIL CYTOPLASMIC AUTOANTIBODI ES IN RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS
Antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies (ANCA) were detected in patients with autoimmune and vascular diseases such as Wegener's granulomatosis, polyarteritis nodosa and systemic lupus erythematosus. Indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) technique was employed to detect these autoantibodies. By this method, two general patterns of ANCA were seen: a cytoplasmic (cANCA) and a perinuclear form ...

متن کاملDifferentiation of antineutrophil nuclear antibodies in inflammatory bowel and autoimmune liver diseases from antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (p-ANCA) using immunofluorescence microscopy.
Perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (p-ANCA) directed against cytoplasmic proteins of neutrophils have been studied extensively in patients with systemic vasculitides. Recent data indicate that antineutrophil antibodies in sera from patients with chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) or autoimmune liver disorders, currently called 'atypical p-ANCA', recognize a nuclear target ...
