Endothelial cell activation and neovascularization are prominent in dermatomyositis
Tập 3 Số 1 - 2006
Abstract Background While vascular and immune abnormalities are common in
juvenile and adult dermatomyositis (DM), the molecular changes that contribute
to these abnormalities are not clear. Therefore, we investigated pathways that
facilitate new blood vessel formation and dendritic cell migration in
dermatomyositis. Methods Muscle biopsies from subjects with DM (9 children and 6
adults) and non-m...
Analysis of the TCR alpha and beta chain CDR3 spectratypes in the peripheral blood of patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Why do we need a new journal in autoimmunity?
Tập 1 - Trang 1-3 - 2004
A new online Journal of Autoimmune Diseases is created as an independent open
access journal. In addition to the obvious advantages of the open access, the
Journal will practice a double-blind reviewing of the manuscripts, which means
that both the reviewers and the authors remain anonymous to each other. We
believe that such a policy will reduce the influence of personal and other
non-scientific ...
Are classification criteria for vasculitis useful in clinical practice? Observations and lessons from Colombia
Tập 6 - Trang 1-10 - 2009
Idiopathic systemic vasculitis represents a group of clinical entities having
non-specific etiology with the common characteristic of acute or chronic
inflammatory compromise of the small and large vessels walls, associated with
fibrinoid necrosis. To describe the most common inflammatory vascular diseases
in a long historical cohort of patients from San Juan de Dios Hospital located
in Bogota, Co...
Autoantigenic nuclear proteins of a clinically atypical renal vasculitis
Tập 5 - Trang 1-8 - 2008
Systemic vasculitides constitute a heterogeneous group of diseases of
autoimmunological origin characterized by inflammation of blood vessels and
antibodies that react against autoantigens in a process that ultimately affects
blood vessel walls. An important number of these patients present kidney
disease. An endeavour of this area of research is the identification of
autoantigens involved in thes...
Cerebrovascular disease associated with antiphospholipid antibodies: more questions than answers
Tập 3 - Trang 1-7 - 2006
Neurological syndromes occur in a significant number of patients with
antiphospholipid antibodies. The optimal management for these patients however
remains uncertain. Our study is a descriptive analysis looking retrospectively
at 45 patients who presented to the principal tertiary referral centre in the
Australian Capital Territory, with either cerebral arterial or venous thrombosis
for which the...
Evaluation of antibodies against human HSP60 in patients with MPO-ANCA associated glomerulonephritis: a cohort study
Tập 3 - Trang 1-7 - 2006
Human Heat Shock Protein 60 (hHSP60) has been implicated in autoimmunity through
molecular mimicry, based on the high degree of homology with HSP65 of
micro-organisms leading to autoimmune recognition of the human protein.
Additionally, sequence homology between hHSP60 and myeloperoxidase (MPO) has
been described. MPO is a major autoantigen in vasculitis associated with
antineutrophil cytoplasmic ...
Transfer of efficient anti-melanocyte T cells from vitiligo donors to melanoma patients as a novel immunotherapeutical strategy
Tập 2 - Trang 1-5 - 2005
Vitiligo is a relatively common progressive depigmentary condition that is
believed to be due to the autoimmune-mediated loss of epidermal melanocytes.
High frequencies of self-reactive T lymphocytes directed toward melanocyte
differentiation antigens are found in vitiligo patients and might be directly
responsible for the pathogenesis of the disease. An interesting aspect of
vitiligo is its relat...
