25. Autoimmune chronic active hepatitis in Down's syndrome
Hashimoto's thyroiditis, autoimmune adrenalitis, pernicious anaemia, and diabetes mellitus are all recognised associations with Down's syndrome. In addition chronic active hepatitis (CAH) resulting from chronic hepatitis B antigenaemia is known to occur in these patients, but an association of autoimmune CAH and Down's syndrome has not previously been descri

26. Mixed connective tissue disease associated with autoimmune hepatitis and thyroiditis.
The case is reported of a 27 year old woman who had mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) associated with chronic active hepatitis and thyroiditis. Although hepatomegaly is sometimes observed in MCTD, only four cases of MCTD and chronic active hepatitis have been described. It is thought that this is the first report of an association between MCTD, chronic

29. Adoptive transfer of autoimmune diabetes and thyroiditis to athymic rats.
We describe the induction of autoimmune diabetes, insulitis, and thyroiditis in athymic rats following injections of major histocompatibility complex compatible spleen cells. Lymphocytes with these capabilities were found in normal rats of the YOS, WAG, PVG, and diabetes-resistant BB strains, and in diabetes-prone BB rats. Adoptive transfer was facilitated b

30. Thyroid peroxidase antibodies in children with autoimmune thyroiditis.
AIMS: To compare the prevalence of thyroid peroxidase antibodies in 25 children with autoimmune thyroid disorders and in 41 children and young adults with type 1 diabetes, and to test the prevalence of thyrotropin receptor antibodies. METHODS: Two commercially available radioimmunoassays for antibodies to thyroid peroxidase, a commercially available agglutin

32. Hypothyroidism in transgenic mice expressing IFN-γ in the thyroid
IFN-γ has been implicated with contradictory results in the pathogenetic process of autoimmune (Hashimoto's) thyroiditis, the most common cause of hypothyroidism in adults. To test whether the local production of IFN-γ can lead to thyroid dysfunction, we have generated transgenic mice that express constitutively IFN-γ in the thyroid follicular cells. This

33. Co-existence of Hashimoto's thyroiditis with familial Mediterranean fever: is there a pathophysiological association between the two diseases?
Familial Mediterranean fever is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by periodic attacks of fever and polyserositis, while Hashimoto's thyroiditis is the most common cause of hypothyroidism. We suggest that common autoimmune mechanisms may underlie both disorders, describe their clinical co-existence in a patient, and discuss a possible causal link b

34. Effects of natural or synthetic microbial adjuvants on induction of autoimmune thyroiditis.
Natural and synthetic adjuvants of microbial origin were compared for their capacity to potentiate the induction of experimental autoimmune thyroiditis (EAT) with the autoantigen mouse thyroglobulin (MTg). Regardless of the immunomodulator used, severe thyroiditis was observed only in EAT-susceptible strains of the k haplotype and not in EAT-resistant strain

35. Influence of major histocompatibility haplotype on autoimmune disease varies in different inbred families of chickens.
Three partially inbred substrains of Obese strain chickens were studied for the spontaneous development of autoimmune thyroiditis. The influence of the major histocompatibility complex (B haplotype) was marked in one, less marked but still significant in a second, and barely detectable and transient in a third substrain. These differences in the effect of B

36. Normal immunoglobulin G (IgG) for therapeutic use (intravenous Ig) contain antiidiotypic specificities against an immunodominant, disease-associated, cross-reactive idiotype of human anti-thyroglobulin autoantibodies.
Pooled normal polyspecific IgG for therapeutic use (IVIg) contain anti-idiotypes against idiotypic determinants expressed by autoantibodies from patients with a variety of autoimmune diseases. In the present study, antiidiotypes in IVIg are shown to recognize a cross-reactive idiotype on human anti-thyroglobulin (TG) autoantibodies, that was defined by heter
