• Crohn's disease-specific anti-CUZD1 pancreatic antibodies are absent in ruminants with paratuberculosis 

      Liaskos, C.; Spyrou, V.; Athanasiou, L. V.; Orfanidou, T.; Mavropoulos, A.; Rigopoulou, E. I.; Amiridis, G. S.; Shoenfeld, Y.; Billinis, C.; Bogdanos, D. P. (2015)
      Background: Pancreatic autoantibodies (PABs) specifically recognizing GP2 and/or CUZD1 are present in more than 35% of patients with Crohn's disease (CrD). We have recently provided evidence of the presence of GP2-specific ...
    • Infectome: A platform to trace infectious triggers of autoimmunity 

      Bogdanos, D. P.; Smyk, D. S.; Invernizzi, P.; Rigopoulou, E. I.; Blank, M.; Pouria, S.; Shoenfeld, Y. (2013)
      The "exposome" is a term recently used to describe all environmental factors, both exogenous and endogenous, which we are exposed to in a lifetime. It represents an important tool in the study of autoimmunity, complementing ...
    • Infectomics and autoinfectomics: a tool to study infectious-induced autoimmunity 

      Bogdanos, D. P.; Smyk, D. S.; Rigopoulou, E. I.; Sakkas, L. I.; Shoenfeld, Y. (2015)
      The exposome represents all exogenous and endogenous environmental exposures that begin at preconception and carry on throughout life, while the microbiome reflects the microbial component of the exposome. We recently ...
    • Intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG) in systemic sclerosis: a challenging yet promising future 

      Cantarini, L.; Rigante, D.; Vitale, A.; Napodano, S.; Sakkas, L. I.; Bogdanos, D. P.; Shoenfeld, Y. (2015)
      The etiology and pathogenesis of systemic sclerosis are still largely unknown, but a variety of humoral and cellular autoimmune phenomena have been documented. In addition, the rarity of the disease, the broad spectrum of ...
    • Tracing environmental markers of autoimmunity: introducing the infectome 

      Bogdanos, D. P.; Smyk, D. S.; Invernizzi, P.; Rigopoulou, E. I.; Blank, M.; Sakkas, L.; Pouria, S.; Shoenfeld, Y. (2013)
      We recently introduced the concept of the infectome as a means of studying all infectious factors which contribute to the development of autoimmune disease. It forms the infectious part of the exposome, which collates all ...
