Antiphospholipid-Associated Nephropathy Is a Risk for Developing Arterial Thromboses in Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background/Purpose: Antiphospholipid-associated nephropathy (APLN) is characterized by coexistence of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPLs) and renal small-vessel vasculopathy/chronic renal ischemia. Consequences of APLN to thrombosis have yet…Abstract Number: 4 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Detection of Anti-Beta2glycoprotein I Domain 1 Antibodies By an Automated Chemiluminescence Assay in a Cohort of 400 Clinically Characterized Consecutive Routine Samples

Differential Assay Reactivity of IgA Anti-B2glycoprotein I Antibodies: Implications for Clinical Interpretation of Antiphospholipid Antibody Testing
Background/Purpose: IgA anti-β2Glycoprotein I (aβ2GPI) antibodies remain controversial in the assessment of thrombotic risk in spite of several studies indicating an association with thromboembolic…Abstract Number: 14 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Isotype Dependent Performance Of Beta2glycoprotein I Immunoassays In Two Diverse Patient Cohorts: Implications For Assay Harmonization and Standardization
Background/Purpose: The presence IgG and/or IgM beta2 glycoprotein I (β2GPI) antibodies are associated with thrombosis and/or pregnancy-related morbidity in antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and/or systemic lupus…Abstract Number: 2655 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Therapeutic Effect Of β2GPI and Its Synthetic derivative Loaded Tolerogenic Dendritic Cells In Experimental Antiphospholipid Syndrome, Is Associated With miRNA 23b, 142-3p and 221 Expression and Tregs Upregulation
Background/Purpose: The importance of beta-glycoprotein I (beta2GPI)-specific CD4+ T cells in the development of pathogenic processes in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and APS mice…Abstract Number: 2650 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Silent Ischemic Heart Disease In Patients With Primary Antiphospholipid Syndrome
Background/Purpose: Premature atherosclerosis in PAPS is still a matter of debate Patients and Methods: To determine the prevalence of ischemic heart disease in…Abstract Number: 2654 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
IgG Antibodies Directed Against Domain I Of ß2-Glycoprotein I Are Significant Predictors Of Thromboembolic Events In Patients With Antiphospholipid Antibodies. A Prospective Cohort Study
AbstractBackground/Purpose : Our objective was to prospectively determine the prognostic significance of laboratory variables regarding thrombotic events during follow-up, including novel assays IgG antibodies directed…Abstract Number: 2550 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
