    Keywords : rheumatoid arthritis; systemic lupus erythematosus; anti-collagen antibodies; anti-Clq antibodies; ELISPOT; interferon-y; IL-4;

    Abstract : In rheumatoid arthritis (RA),other arthritides and in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) there is immunological reactivity to collagen type II (CII) and to complement component C1q. Parts of the CII and C1q molecules are structurally and immunologically related. READ MORE

    Abstract : BACKGROUND: Autoimmune diseases require the involvement and activation of immune cells and occur when the body builds up an immune response against its own tissues. This process takes place due to the inability to distinguish self-antigen from foreign antigen. Systemic autoimmunity represents an important cause of morbidity and mortality in humans. READ MORE

  5. 3. Autoimmunity in Africa: Comparing Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Anti-phospholipid Antibodies in Sudan and Sweden

    Keywords : SLE; anti-phospholipid antibodies; IgA; immune complexes; pregnancy; autoimmunity; Sudan; Africa; Klinisk immunologi; Clinical Immunology;

    Abstract : Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic immune complex (IC)-mediated disease with variable prevalence worldwide, reported to be more common in Africans, Hispanics and Asians than in Caucasian populations. Expression of autoantibodies might vary between different ethnic populations due to environmental and genetic factors. READ MORE

  6. 4. The Immunopathology of Rheumatoid Arthritis and Leishmania donovani Infection in Sudan

    Author : Amir I. Elshafie; Johan Rönnelid; Anders Bengtsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Klinisk immunologi; Clinical Immunology;

    Abstract : Immune complexes (IC) and antibody production against self-antigens play a pathological key role in the development of autoimmunity that occurs in patients with parasitic infections and rheumatic diseases. My studies have targeted two groups of patients from Sudan; patients with visceral leishmaniasis (VL) and patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). READ MORE
