Primary biliary cirrhosis is characterized by IgG3 antibodies cross-reactive with the major mitochondrial autoepitope and its lactobacillus mimic
(2005)
The serological hallmark of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is the presence of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex E2 subunit (PDC-E2) antimitochondrial antibodies (AMAs). Anti-PDC-E2 antibodies cross-react specifically with ...
Multiple viral/self immunological cross-reactivity in liver kidney microsomal antibody positive hepatitis C virus-infected patients is associated with the possession of HLA B51
(2004)
Liver Kidney Microsomal autoantibody type 1(LKM1) directed to cytochrome P4502D6 (CYP2D6) characterises autoimmune hepatitis type-2 (AIH-2), but is also found in a proportion of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infected ...
Blocking of interleukin-10 receptor - A novel approach to stimulate T-helper cell type 1 responses to hepatitis C virus
(2005)
Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is associated with weak CD4+ T-helper type 1 reactivity and enhanced interleukin-10 production to HCV antigens. Here we demonstrate in vitro that monoclonal antibody-induced blockade ...
Lamivudine plus interleukin-12 combination therapy in chronic hepatitis B: Antiviral and immunological activity
(2005)
Interleukin-12 (IL-12) is an immunomodulatory cytokine that promotes cellular immunity. Pre-clinical data suggest that IL-12 inhibits hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication by stimulating interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) production. ...
