    • Double reactivity against actin and alpha-actinin defines a severe form of autoimmune hepatitis type 1 

      Gueguen, P.; Dalekos, G.; Nousbaum, J. B.; Zachou, K.; Putterman, C.; Youinou, P.; Renaudineau, Y. (2006)
      Anti-filamentous actin antibodies characterize autoimmune hepatitis type 1 (AIH-1). Recently, the binding domain of alpha-actinin on actin was shown to be a predominant epitope. To test this reactivity, an anti-alpha-actinin ...
    • 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 ...
    • 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 ...
