Aim To explore our data and assess whether ... -

Anti-alpha-actinin antibodies cross-react with Anti-ssDNA antibodies in active autoimmune hepatitis
Renaudineau, Y.; Dalekos, G. N.; Gueguen, P.; Zachou, K.; Youinou, P. (2008)Recently, we have observed that the association of anti-F-actin autoantibodies (Abs) with anti-alpha-actinin Abs (double reactivity) was correlated with liver disease activity in autoimmune hepatitis type 1 (AIH-1; Gueguen ... -
Anti-cardiolipin antibodies in patients with chronic viral hepatitis are independent of beta2-glycoprotein I cofactor or features of antiphospholipid syndrome
Zachou, K.; Liaskos, C.; Christodoulou, D. K.; Kardasi, M.; Papadamou, G.; Gatselis, N.; Georgiadou, S. P.; Tsianos, E. V.; Dalekos, G. N. (2003)Background Although controversial, some authorities have implicated hepatitis C virus (HCV) as a cause of anti-phospholipid syndrome (APLS). Anti-cardiolipin antibodies (anti-CLAbs) in APLS are cofactor-dependent ('pathogenic' ... -
