... that genetic and immunological factors are important in its pathogenesis. The present study examined the prevalence of 23 different autoantibodies in 25 PSC sera, by ELISA, in order to better define the autoimmune profile of PSC. The results indicate that 88% of PSC patients produced at least 1 autoantibody...

... of these findings we examined sera derived from 40 patients diagnosed as having PPH for the presence of 18 different autoantibodies by the ELISA and immunofluorescent techniques. Of the 40 patients, 62.4% had circulating autoantibodies and 47.5% presented with multiantibody responses. Autoantibodies most commonly...

... 3 with U1 70 kD, U1A, U1C-positive IgG. The induced autoantibody response in the mice was studied by ELISA and immunoblots and the clinical findings of MCTD in humans were assessed. Results: Immunoblot assays showed that mice immunized with different human anti-U1RNP antibodies developed...

... and autologous PBMC transfer into Scid mice did not reproduce the inflammatory events found in the original SSc skin biopsies, these mice could be useful to study the expression of SSc-specific autoantibodies. 2 04 1996 6 05 1996 8 10 2008 © 1996 S. Karger AG, Basel 1996 Copyright / Drug...

Gorczyca Objective: Autoantibodies to various neuronal proteins frequently accompany lung cancer and their appearance may precede cancer symptoms. In this study we examined which retinal antigens (RAs) are recognized by sera...
