      Patrikiou E., Liaskos C., Mavropoulos A., Ntavari N., Gkoutzourelas A., Simopoulou T., Fechner K., Scheper T., Meyer W., Katsiari C.G., Roussaki-Schulze A., Zafiriou E., Sakkas L.I., Bogdanos D.P. (2020)
      Anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA) are frequently detected in patients with psoriasis (Ps) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA), but their target autoantigens remain unknown. We assessed antibody (ab) reactivity against 23 known nuclear ...
    • Infectious triggers of primary biliary cirrhosis: Do we know enough? 

      Smyk, D.; Rigopoulou, E. I.; Zen, Y.; Koutsoumpas, A.; Baum, H.; Bogdanos, D. P. (2011)
      Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is an immune mediated liver disease directed against the biliary epithelial cells of the small bile ducts. The disease is characterised by circulating antimitochondrial antibodies (AMA), as ...
    • Molecular diagnostics of primary billary cirrhosis 

      Rigopoulou, E. I.; Dalekos, G. N. (2008)
      Background: Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is an autoimmune liver disease of unknown etiology characterized by the presence of antimitochondrial antibodies (AMA) in 90 - 95% of patients. AMA are directed against members ...
