Cytokines and Their Relation to Autoantibodies Before Disease Onset in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background/Purpose: Cytokines and autoantibodies are involved in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The presence of autoantibodies preceding disease onset by years has been…Abstract Number: 485 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Immunogenicity of Infliximab Is Related to Reduction of Frequency of Infliximab Administration in Rheumatoid Arthritis and Spondyloarthritis Patients
Background/Purpose: To analyze the clinical and biological characteristics associated with presence of antibodies to Infliximab, in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and spondyloarthritis patients (SpA). Methods: Sera…Abstract Number: 349 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Preliminary Results From a Controlled Study Assessing the Humoral Immune Response to Vaccines in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients Treated with Tocilizumab
Background/Purpose: Tocilizumab (TCZ) is an IL-6–receptor inhibitor for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients (pts). Because TCZ may impact how IL-6 modulates T-cell activation and…Abstract Number: 2659 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
An Expanded Repertoire of Anti-Citrullinated Peptide Antibodies Is Associated with Interstitial Lung Disease in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is an outcome with high morbidity and mortality in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Citrullinated proteins are observed in these lung tissues;…Abstract Number: 286 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Association of N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Receptor Antibodies and Neurocognitive Dysfunction in Pediatric Lupus Patients and in the Offspring of Adult Patients with Lupus
Background/Purpose: Approximately 1/5 of all systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) starts in childhood and central nervous system (CNS) dysfunction is more common in childhood-onset SLE. CNS…Abstract Number: 2618 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Lupus Disease Activity Severely Impairs Pandemic Influenza A/H1N1 Vaccine Immune Response in Patients without Therapy
Background/Purpose: To determine the influence of disease activity without the effect of drugs in pandemic 2009 influenza A (H1N1) vaccine immune response in untreated systemic…Abstract Number: 216 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Clinical and Serological Associations of Malignancy in Adult Patients with Polymyositis and Dermatomyositis
Background/Purpose: Polymyositis (PM) and dermatomyositis (DM) are systemic connective tissue disorders, which are often associated with internal malignancy. Several studies have reported the association between…Abstract Number: 2598 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Anti-Drug Antibodies Are Associated with Diminished Drug Levels and Treatment Failure
Background/Purpose: Due to their proteinaceus character biologics can often induce an unwanted immune response that results in the formation of anti-drug antibodies in patients receiving…Abstract Number: 1941 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Clinical Evaluation of Anti-Aminoacyl tRNA Synthetase Antibodies in Japanese Patients with Connective Tissue Diseases
Background/Purpose: Anti-Jo-1 antibody is an autoantibody specifically detected in sera of patients with polymyositis/dermatomyositis (PM/DM). The antigen corresponding to this autoantibody is histidyl-tRNA synthase, being…Abstract Number: 1936 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Human Leukocyte Antigen DRB1*13:02-DQB1*06:04-DPB1*04:01 Haplotype Is Closely Associated with Dermatomyositis Patients with Anti-CADM-140 (Melanoma Differentiation-Associated Protein 5: MDA5) Antibody
Background/Purpose: Recent studies have revealed that anti-CADM-140 (MDA5/IFIH1)-antibody positive dermatomyositis (DM) patients frequently develop acute or subacute progressive interstitial pneumonia (A/SIP) with poor prognosis. However,…Abstract Number: 1748 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Antibody Secreting Cells Arising After Vaccination of Lupus Patients May Produce High Affinity Autoantibodies
Background/Purpose: Vaccinating SLE patients with influenza and pneumococcal vaccines is generally considered safe and effective. However, conflicting reports regarding the impact of vaccination on autoantibody…Abstract Number: 1491 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Systemic Sclerosis – Effects of Agonistic Autoantibodies Directed Against the Angiotensin Receptor Type 1 and the Endothelin Receptor Type A On Effector Cells
Background/Purpose: Autoimmunity, vasculopathy and fibrosis are features of systemic sclerosis (SSc). The functional link between these three pathophysiological components is still missing. Research suggests an…Abstract Number: 1286 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Antibodies to Etanercept and Adalimumab in Rheumatoid Arthritis Inadequate Responders and Clinical Outcomes After an Active Switch to Infliximab
Background/Purpose: To determine if RA patients (pts) who had an inadequate response to etanercept(ETN) or adalimumab(ADA) and developed antibodies (Abs) to ETN or ADA responded…
