16. On the analysis of antibody repertoires
Sammanfattning : The antibody repertoire is the ensemble of antibodies found in an individual at a given time. It displays high heterogeneity between individuals while being both largely temporally stable within an individual and rapidly responsive to immunological challenge. LÄS MER
17. Genetic regulation of autoantibodies in arthritis : lessons from mouse models
Sammanfattning : Autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or multiple sclerosis (MS) are commonly regarded as complex or multifactorial diseases. This complexity regards to effector mechanisms involved in pathologic manifestations, and also to the diversity of genetic and environmental factors that predispose individuals to such diseases.

18. Immune responses to the Ro and La autoantigens
Sammanfattning : Sjögren's syndrome (SS) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are rheumatic diseases characterized by autoantibody production directed to the Ro/SS-A and La/SS-B autoantigens. The Ro/SS-A is a complex of one of four small RNAs denoted hY RNAs, and three proteins; Ro 60kD, Ro 52kD and La. LÄS MER
19. On the profiling of autoantibodies in psychiatric disorders
Sammanfattning : There is a great need to increase our understanding of diseases affecting the brain and their underlying pathogenic mechanisms. To address this need, the work presented in this thesis applied affinity based proteomic techniques to profile proteins, and to investigate protein profiles and the autoantibody repertoire in brain related disorders.

20. Clinical and epidemiological project in cancer-associated dermatomyositis : the role of anti-TIF1γ antibodies
Sammanfattning : Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) are a heterogeneous group of rare chronic autoimmune inflammatory diseases causing a debilitating muscle weakness but encountering even other symptoms such as arthritis, skin rash, lung involvement or dysphagia. IIM are a diagnostic challenge because of the clinical variability and the need to early identify the subgroups of disease with worst prognosis. LÄS MER
