SummaryDevelopment of antibodies (Ab) that either block the function of coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) (inhibitors) or clear it from circulation, seriously complicate the treatment of haemophilia A patients with FVIII products. Autoantibodies which

Severe hemophilia A patients treated with factor (F)VIII may develop antibodies (Ab) that block FVIII function (inhibitors). Autoimmune inhibitors may develop in subjects without congenital hemophilia, and cause acquired hemophilia. Hemophiliacs with

SummaryFormation of inhibitor antibodies to factor VIII (FVIII) is a major complication of FVIII replacement therapy for hemophilia A patients, and it occurs through a T-cell dependent process. The C2 domain of FVIII contains epitopes that are recogn

We utilized HLA transgenic mice to identify the dominant epitopes on the human (H)-AChR alpha subunit. The cytoplasmic H-AChR peptide alpha320-337 was the dominant T cell epitope for DQ8, DR3, and DQ8xDQ6 F1 mice. The H-AChR-immunized HLA-DQ8, DR3, D

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a T cell-dependent, Ab-mediated autoimmune disease. Ab against muscle acetylcholine receptor (AChR) cause the muscular weakness that characterizes MG and its animal model, experimental MG (EMG). EMG is induced in C57BL6 (B6)

Susceptibility to myasthenia gravis (MG) is positively linked to expression of HLA-DQ8 and DR3 molecules and negatively linked to expression of the DQ6 molecule. To elucidate the molecular basis of this association, we have induced experimental autoi

Nasal administration of synthetic CD4(+) epitopes of the acetylcholine receptor (AChR) prevents experimental myasthenia gravis (EMG) in C57Bl/6 mice, but not in IL4-deficient C57Bl/6 (IL4(-/-)) mice. Here we verify that nasal tolerance requires IL4,

SummaryMice genetically deficient in factor VIII (fVIII) are a model of hemophilia A. As a first step to reproduce in this mouse model what occurs over time in hemophilia A patients treated with human fVIII (hfVIII), we have investigated the time cou

We examined the proliferative response of blood CD4(+) cells to muscle acetylcholine receptor (AChR) subunits and the epitope repertoire of the epsilon and gamma subunits, in ocular myasthenia gravis (oMG) patients and healthy subjects. oMG patients
