Identification of endothelial cell membrane proteins that bind anti-DNA antibodies from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus by direct or indirect mechanisms.

abstract：:Autoimmune diseases affect up to 10% of the world's population, and approximately 80% of those affected are female. The majority of autoimmune diseases occur more commonly in females, although some are more frequent in males, while others show no bias by sex. The mechanisms leading to sex biased disease prevalence are...

abstract：:Autoimmune diseases are characterized serologically by the presence of antibodies to specific autoantigens. Antibodies to the two antigens Ro/SSA and La/SSB are found in patients with primary (pSS) and secondary Sjögren's syndrome (sSS). To explore if differences in the fine specificity of these autoantibodies could b...
