The aim of our study was to search for APLs in patients affected by systemic scleroderma and to evaluate their involvement in the clinical manifestations of this disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional descriptive study, from January 20...

متن کاملAnti-CD40 antibodies in antiphospholipid syndrome and systemic lupus erythematosus.
Anti-beta2glycoprotein I (anti-beta2GPI) antibodies constitute the main autoantibody specificity in the sera of patients with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). There is evidence that anti-beta2GPI antibodies induce the precoagulant activity of the endothelium by cross-linking the beta2 glycoprotein I (beta2GPI) on the cell surface. Since beta2GPI lacks intracellular domains, homology with other ...
