Antimitochondrial antibodies of immunoglobulin G3 subclass are associated with a more severe disease course in primary biliary cirrhosis
(2007)
Background/Aims: Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is characterised by the presence of immunoglobulin (Ig) G antimitochondrial antibodies (AMA), which are routinely detected by indirect immunofluorescence (IFL) using composite ...
Familial primary biliary cirrhosis: Like mother, like daughter?
(2012)
The reasons underlying why autoimmune diseases overwhelmingly affect women more than men are not clear. Nor are the reasons why autoimmune disease is more prevalent in families. This review uses primary biliary cirrhosis ...
Towards systemic sclerosis and away from primary biliary cirrhosis: The case of PTPN22
(2012)
Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is a chronic cholestatic liver disease characterized by immune-mediated destruction of the small and medium size intrahepatic bile ducts. PBC patients often have concomitant autoimmune ...
Smoking as a risk factor for autoimmune liver disease: What we can learn from primary biliary cirrhosis
(2012)
Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is a cholestatic liver disease characterised by the immune-mediated destruction of biliary epithelial cells in small intrahepatic bile ducts. The disease is characterised by circulating ...
Infectome: A platform to trace infectious triggers of autoimmunity
(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 ...
Disease-specific cross-reactivity between mimicking peptides of heat shock protein of mycobacterium gordonae and dominant epitope of E2 subunit of pyruvate dehydrogenase is common in Spanish but not British patients with primary biliary cirrhosis
(2004)
Previous studies on Spanish patients with Primary Biliary Cirrhosis (PBC) have shown extensive, disease-specific cross-reactivity between the 65-kDa heat shock protein (hsp65) of Mycobacterium gordonae and pyruvate ...
Diagnostic value, clinical utility and pathogenic significance of reactivity to the molecular targets of Crohn's disease specific-pancreatic autoantibodies
(2011)
Pancreatic autoantibodies (PAB) giving characteristic staining patterns of the exocrine pancreas by indirect immunoflourescence appear to be specific markers of Crohn's disease (CrD), being present in approximarely 30% of ...
