Antinuclear antibodies defining autoimmunity pathways

Patterns of staining can be correlated with molecules engaged in specific cellular functions and distributed in distinct cellular domains. Different autoimmune disorders have different profile...
متن کاملANTINEUTROPHIL CYTOPLASMIC AUTOANTIBODI ES IN RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS
Antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies (ANCA) were detected in patients with autoimmune and vascular diseases such as Wegener's granulomatosis, polyarteritis nodosa and systemic lupus erythematosus. Indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) technique was employed to detect these autoantibodies. By this method, two general patterns of ANCA were seen: a cytoplasmic (cANCA) and a perinuclear form ...

متن کاملBicytopenia Secondary to Autoimmune Myelofibrosis as the First Presentation of an Undiagnosed Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: A Rare Case Report
Autoimmune myelofibrosis (AIMF) is considered as an infrequent cause of bone marrow fibrosis (BMF) and a rare complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Due to its rarity, it is mistakenly diagnosed as primary myelofibrosis (MF). We describe the clinicopathologic features of a secondary form of AIMF in a 33- year- old female patient with an undiagnosed SLE which presented with acute b...
متن کاملAutoimmune thyroid diseases and nonorgan‑specific autoimmunity.
Autoimmune thyroid diseases (ATD), as the most common organ‑specific autoimmune disorder, is frequently accompanied by other organ- and nonorgan‑specific autoimmune diseases. Although the exact pathogenic mechanism of the coexistence of autoimmune disorders has not been clearly defined, genetic and environmental factors, immune defects, and hormonal changes, may play a key role in polyautoimmun...
متن کاملAutoimmune thyroid disease in patients with rheumatic diseases.
Thyroid function abnormalities and thyroid autoantibodies have been frequently described in patients with rheumatologic autoimmune diseases, such as Sjögren's syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus and scleroderma. Limited data are available regarding the prevalence and clinical characteristics of autoimmune thyroiditis in other rheumatologic disorders, such as rheumatic f...
