Identification of immune signatures predictive of clinical protection from malaria.

PLoS computational biology
Antibodies are thought to play an essential role in naturally acquired immunity to malaria. Prospective cohort studies have frequently shown how continuous exposure to the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum cause an accumulation of specific respo...

Adequate tacrolimus concentration for myasthenia gravis treatment.

European journal of neurology
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: A single, oral dose of 3 mg/day tacrolimus, approved for myasthenia gravis (MG) treatment in Japan, was shown to reduce steroid dose and anti-acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibody titers as well as to improve MG symptoms. How...

Papillary thyroid carcinomas with biochemical incomplete or indeterminate responses to initial treatment: repeat stimulated thyroglobulin assay to identify disease-free patients.

Endocrine
Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) patients treated with thyroidectomy and radioiodine remnant ablation (RRA) often have detectable TSH-stimulated thyroglobulin (Tg) levels without localizable disease after primary treatment. To assess the value of repea...

Artificial intelligence and omics-based autoantibody profiling in dementia.

Frontiers in immunology
INTRODUCTION: Dementia is a neurodegenerative syndrome marked by the accumulation of disease-specific proteins and immune dysregulation, including autoimmune mechanisms involving autoantibodies. Current diagnostic methods are often invasive, time-con...

IgE anti-BP180 NC16A autoantibody in both serum and blister fluid samples does not correlate with disease activity of bullous pemphigoid.

European journal of dermatology : EJD
The correlation between IgE anti-BP180 NC16A autoantibody and disease activity of bullous pemphigoid (BP) remains disputable. To determine the levels of IgE anti-BP180 NC16A autoantibody and its clinical significance in untreated BP patients. IgG and...

Anti-Desmoglein 1 and 3 Autoantibody Levels in Endemic Pemphigus Foliaceus and Pemphigus Vulgaris from Brazil.

Clinical laboratory
BACKGROUND: Pemphigus is a group of autoimmune blistering diseases of which the major forms are pemphigus foliaceus (PF) and vulgaris (PV). In Brazil, PF occurs in an endemic form also known as fogo selvagem. The main autoantibody in PF is against de...
