Abstract

Patients with the autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome I (APS I) have high titers of neutralizing IgG autoantibodies against type I interferons (IFNs), in particular IFN-omega. Until now, the most specific assay has been the antiviral interferon neutralizing assay (AVINA), which has the drawbacks of requiring a cytolytic virus, being cumbersome and difficult to standardise. We have developed a fast and reliable immunoassay based on radiolabelled IFN-omega for quantifying anti-IFN-omega antibodies. Sera from 48 APS I patients were analysed together with those from 5 control groups. All sera from APS I patients were positive for anti-IFN-omega, while, except one serum, all sera from the controls were negative. This method has the advantage over bioassays that it is readily adapted to high throughput. It provides an alternative, sensitive and specific diagnostic test for APS I, and an ideal screening tool to precede mutational analyses of the AIRE gene in suspected APS I cases.

Candidiasis

Candidiasis is a common fungal infection caused by Candida and it can affect many parts for the body including mucosal membranes as well as the gastrointestinal, urinary, and respiratory tracts. Here is the latest research.

Autoimmune Polyendocrinopathies

Autoimmune polyendocrinopathies, also called polyglandular autoimmune syndromes (PGASs), or polyendocrine autoimmune syndromes(PASs), are a heterogeneous group of rare diseases characterized by autoimmune activity against more than one endocrine organ, although non-endocrine organs can be affected. Discover the latest research on autoimmune polyendocrinopathies here.

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.

Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndromes

This feed focuses on a rare genetic condition called Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndromes, which are characterized by autoantibodies against multiple endocrine organs. This can lead to Type I Diabetes.

Autoimmune Hepatitis

Autoimmune hepatitis formerly called lupoid hepatitis, is a chronic, autoimmune disease of the liver that occurs when the body's immune system attacks liver cells causing the liver to be inflamed. Discover the latest research on autoimmune hepatitis here.
