O17: Inflammation in Brain and Spinal Cord

our goal in this paper is to describe and compare basic immunopathologic pattern of common demyelinating disorder, that is very important to choose the best treatment. The most common disorders are multiple sclerosis, neuromyelitis optica,Anti MOG associated disease,ADEM and autoimmune encephalitis. ADEM consists of ‘‘sleeves’’ of demyelination centered on small, engorge...

Association between myasthenia gravis and HLA antigens in patients

Introduction: Myasthenia gravis is a disease of neuromuscular junction. Familial cases have been reported. Relation between myasthenia gravis and HLA antigens has been seen in many studies from different parts of the world. The aim of this study is determination of association between HLA class I haplotypes and myasthenia gravis in Kerman province. Methods: In this cross sectional study 44 my...

CAR T-cell Therapy of Hematologic Malignancies: An Update in Targeted Antigens

Immunotherapy with genetically engineered T-cells that express the chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) has raised hopes for the treatment of pediatric malignancies. Although CAR T-cell development is on a fast-moving pace and evolution, the context of exploring novel targetable antigens has been neglected. In this review study, we analyze the prominent hematologic antigens targeted by engineered T-...

Relationship of blood groups to pemphigus: Do blood group antigens have a biological role? A Case-control study

Background: ABO blood group antigens may play a role in the pathophysiology of certain diseases. Several studies have investigated the relation between blood group and autoimmune disorders. In this research, we evaluated the associations between ABO blood types and rhesus (Rh) factor in pemphigus patients.Methods: In this case-control, hospital-based study, we evaluated the prevalence of blood ...
