Words similar to autoantibody
Example sentences for: autoantibody
How can you use “autoantibody” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The emerging view is that modified forms of autoantigens generated during cell death might stimulate autoantibody responses if presented to the immune system in a proinflammatory context [ 23 ] . Since the fate of the Golgi complex during cell death has not been extensively explored, we investigated whether the Golgi complex and associated autoantigens are altered during apoptosis and necrosis.
We therefore were interested in finding out how IFN-γ and IL-4 regulate isotype expression of the PG-specific antibodies and if an autoantibody isotype contributes to the severity of disease.
Although direct evidence that autoantigen cleavage fragments produced during cell death elicit autoantibody responses is still scarce, Pollard et al . reported that immunization of B10.S mice (H-2 s) with a 19 kDa proteolytic cleavage fragment of fibrillarin (derived from nonapoptotic cell death) elicited antibodies that are comparable with human anti-fibrillarin autoantibodies and those derived from mice exposed to mercury [ 40 ] . In a study using human sera, Greidinger et al . reported that the recognition of apoptosis-derived and oxidatively modified forms of the 70 kDa subunit of U1 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein autoantigen was associated with distinct disease manifestations [ 41 ] . Furthermore, Oriss et al . demonstrated that a combination of antigen-processing cells and a fragment of DNA topoisomerase I efficiently elicited autoreactive T-cell proliferation, whereas the full-length topoisomerase I required additional stimulus of exogenous interleukin-2 [ 42 ] .
Autoantibody production precedes the first clinical symptoms of arthritis [ 5].
These data point to a crucial role for fragments of autoantigens in the generation of autoantibody responses.
