Enhanced autoantibody production and Mott cell formation in FcμR-deficient autoimmune mice

RT @Immunology_News: Enhanced autoantibody production and Mott cell formation in Fc{mu}R-deficient autoimmune mice http://t.co/YlP9ijruhz
Gilbert C FAURE's insight:

IgM-Fc receptor (FcμR) is involved in IgM homeostasis as evidenced by increased pre-immune serum IgM and natural autoantibodies of both IgM and IgG isotypes in Fcmr-deficient C57BL/6 (B6) mice. To determine the impact of Fcmr ablation on autoimmunity, we introduced the Fcmr null mutation onto the Fas-deficient autoimmune-prone B6.MRL Faslpr/lpr mouse background (B6/lpr).

Gilbert C FAURE's insight:

Sensitivity of 82% and specificity of 70% were achieved in the detection of AAH using a combination of 9 autoantibody biomarkers. Likewise, 86% sensitivity and 78% specificity were achieved in the detection of SCD using a combination of 13 SCD-associated markers. Sequencing analysis identified that most of these 22 autoantibody biomarkers had known malignant associations.

Clinical and Serological Features of Patients Referred through a Rheumatology Triage System because of Positive Antinuclear Antibodies

Clinical and Serological Features of Patients Referred through a Rheumatology Triage System because of Positive Antinuclear Antibodies | AUTOIMMUNITY | Scoop.it
by Christie Fitch-Rogalsky, Whitney Steber, Michael Mahler, Terri Lupton, Liam Martin, Susan G. Barr, Dianne P. Mosher, James Wick, Marvin J.
Gilbert C FAURE's insight:

This is the first study to evaluate the serological and clinical features of patients referred through a CT system because of a positive ANA. The spectrum of autoantibody specificities was wide with anti-Ro52/TRIM21 being the most common autoantibody detected. Approximately 15% of referrals had only antibodies to DFS70, the vast majority of which did not have clinical evidence for an AARD. These findings provide insight into the utility of autoantibody testing in a CT system.

Gilbert C FAURE's insight:

Routine monitoring for antinuclear antibodies (ANA) did not help predict the development of drug-induced lupus among patients with rheumatoid arthritis receiving TNF inhibitors, British researchers reported.

Among 454 patients enrolled in a U.K. biologic database who underwent serial testing for the development of ANA, 83 seroconverted by a median time of 2 years, and six developed antibodies to double-stranded DNA (dsDNA). Three patients were diagnosed with lupus, according to Maya H. Buch, MBChB, PhD, of Leeds University, and colleagues.
