Microbial mimics are major targets of crossreactivity with human pyruvate dehydrogenase in primary biliary cirrhosis
Bogdanos, D. P.; Baum, H.; Grasso, A.; Okamoto, M.; Butler, P.; Ma, Y.; Rigopoulou, E.; Montalto, P.; Davies, E. T.; Burroughs, A. K.; Vergani, D. (2004)Background/Aims: Previous studies on patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) have shown extensive cross-reactivity between the dominant B- and T-cell epitopes of human pyruvate dehydrogenase complex-E2 (PDC-E2), and ... -
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
Bogdanos, D. P.; Lenzi, M.; Okamoto, M.; Rigopoulou, E. I.; Muratori, P.; Ma, Y.; Muratori, L.; Tsantoulas, D.; Mieli-Vergani, G.; Bianchi, F. B.; Vergani, D. (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 ... -
Primary biliary cirrhosis is characterized by IgG3 antibodies cross-reactive with the major mitochondrial autoepitope and its lactobacillus mimic
Bogdanos, D. P.; Baum, H.; Okamoto, M.; Montalto, P.; Sharma, U. C.; Rigopoulou, E. I.; Vlachogiannakos, J.; Ma, Y.; Burroughs, A. K.; Vergani, D. (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 ...
