Abstract

Human parvovirus B19 infection in adults shows some clinical features similar to those found in autoimmune connective tissue diseases. To better clarify the relationship between viral infection and autoimmunity, we have evaluated the ability of anti-parvovirus antibodies to specifically recognize autoantigens in ten patients with chronic symmetric arthritis resembling rheumatoid arthritis or with recurrent episodes of arthritis and cutaneous manifestations and persistence of specific IgM antibodies against B19 parvovirus. We synthetized a 24-amino acid immunodominant peptide corresponding to a part of the virus protein 1 and virus protein 2 overlapping region. The peptide has been used to test patients' sera at different time points with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and to purify anti-virus antibodies by affinity chromatography on a peptide-Sepharose column. Eluted immunoglobulins recognized the B19 peptide in both direct and competitive ELISA. Affinity-purified anti-parvovirus antibodies were then tested on a panel of autoantigens including human keratin, collagen type II, thyreoglobulin, single-strand (ss)DNA, cardiolipin and ribonucleoprotein antigen Sm. Eluted antibodies specifically recognized keratin, coll...Continue Reading

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.

Antibody Specificity

Antibodies produced by B cells are highly specific for antigen as a result of random gene recombination and somatic hypermutation and affinity maturation. As the main effector of the humoral immune system, antibodies can neutralize foreign cells. Find the latest research on antibody specificity here.
