1. Antiphospholipid antibodies in Brazilian hepatitis C virus carriers
Hepatitis C, a worldwide viral infection, is an important health problem in Brazil. The virus causes chronic infection, provoking B lymphocyte dysfunction, as represented by cryoglobulinemia, non-organ-specific autoantibody production, and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The aim of this research was to screen for the presence of antiphospholipid autoantibodies in 10

2. AnticorpoS IgG e IgE para auto-antígenos nucleares no Lúpus eritematoso sistêmico.
O Lúpus Eritematoso Sistêmico (LES) é uma doença reumática autoimune, classificada como uma reação de hipersensibilidade tipo III, que cursa com exuberante produção de auto-anticorpos de diferentes especificidades, e reação inflamatória crônica. O LES acomete predominantemente pessoas do sexo feminino, com prevalência de 5-50 casos/100.000. Con

3. Immunoglobulin E and systemic lupus erythematosus
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease characterized by intense polyclonal production of autoantibodies and circulating immune complexes. Some reports have associated SLE with a Th2 immune response and allergy. In the present study 21 female patients with SLE were investigated for total IgE and IgE antibodies to dust house aeroallergens

4. Induction of tolerance to an IgG autoantibody.
Nonautoimmune mice transgenic for the heavy chain of an IgG2b anti-double-stranded-DNA antibody express the transgene in lymphoid organs and display partial allelic exclusion of this gamma 2b transgene. The spleens of these mice are characterized by marked B-cell depletion. Although there are B cells in these mice that express the transgene and recognize dou

5. Th1 and Th2 cytokines regulate proteoglycan-specific autoantibody isotypes and arthritis
BALB/c mice immunized with human cartilage proteoglycan (PG) develop arthritis accompanied by the production of autoantibodies to mouse cartilage PG. To determine whether the autoantibody isotype contributes to the onset and severity of arthritis, PG-specific serum IgG1 (Th2, IL-4-cytokine-supporting) and IgG2a (Th1, IFN-γ-controlling) concentrations were m

6. Anti-HSP70 Autoantibody Formation by B-1 Cells in Toxoplasma gondii-Infected Mice
Formation of anti-Toxoplasma gondii HSP70 (TgHSP70) antibody cross-reactive to mouse HSP70 (mHSP70) was observed in the sera of BALB/c (a resistant strain) and C57BL/6 (B6; a susceptible strain) mice after peroral infection with T. gondii cysts of the Fukaya strain. The levels of anti-mHSP70 immunoglobulin G (IgG) autoantibody production in B6 mice were high

7. Roles of interferon-gamma and interleukin-4 in murine lupus.
The systemic autoimmune syndrome of MRL/Mp-lpr/lpr (MRL/lpr) mice consists of severe pan-isotype hypergammaglobulinemia, autoantibody production, lymphadenopathy, and immune complex-associated end-organ disease. Its pathogenesis has been largely attributed to helper alphabeta T cells that may require critical cytokines to propagate pathogenic autoantibody pr

8. Repertoire cloning of lupus anti-DNA autoantibodies.
To investigate the autoantibody repertoire associated with SLE, we have created phage display IgG Fab libraries from two clinically active SLE patients and from the healthy identical twin of one of these patients. The libraries from the lupus discordant twins were found to both include unusually large representations of the V(H)5 gene family. By panning with

9. Structural characteristics of the variable regions of immunoglobulin genes encoding a pathogenic autoantibody in murine lupus.
We have studied several monoclonal anti-double-stranded (ds) DNA antibodies for their ability to accelerate lupus nephritis in young NZB X NZW F1 female mice and to induce it in BALB/c mice. Two identified as pathogens in both strains have characteristics previously associated with nephritogenicity: expression of IgG2a isotype and IdGN2 idiotype. Both pathog

10. Spontaneous reversal of acquired autoimmune dysfibrinogenemia probably due to an antiidiotypic antibody directed to an interspecies cross-reactive idiotype expressed on antifibrinogen antibodies.
A young man with a long history of abnormal bleeding was seen in January 1985. Coagulation tests showed dysfibrinogenemia and an antifibrinogen autoantibody was demonstrable in his serum. This antibody, when purified, was capable of inhibiting the polymerization of normal fibrin monomers, apparently through binding to the alpha fibrinogen chain. 6 mo later t

11. T-bet regulates IgG class switching and pathogenic autoantibody production
A molecular understanding of the regulation of IgG class switching to IL-4-independent isotypes, particularly to IgG2a, remains largely unknown. The T-box transcription factor T-bet directly regulates Th1 lineage commitment by CD4 T cells, but its role in B lymphocytes has been largely unexplored. We show here a role for T-bet in the regulation of IgG class

12. Anti-Chemokine Autoantibody:Chemokine Immune Complexes Activate Endothelial Cells via IgG Receptors
Our previous studies revealed that the presence in lung fluids of anti–IL-8 autoantibody:IL-8 immune complexes is an important prognostic indicator for the development and outcome of acute lung injury (ALI)/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Anti–IL-8:IL-8 complexes purified from lung edema fluids trigger chemotaxis of neutrophils, induce activa
