Analysis of human total antibody repertoires in TIF1γ autoantibody positive dermatomyositis

Megremis, Walker at al. identify immunogenic epitopes in dermatomyositis patients. They identify antibodies recognizing a wider diversity of microbial antigens including poxviruses, and autoantibodies recognizing a large portion of the human proteome. Shared epitope homology between viral and human...

Sumario:Megremis, Walker at al. identify immunogenic epitopes in dermatomyositis patients. They identify antibodies recognizing a wider diversity of microbial antigens including poxviruses, and autoantibodies recognizing a large portion of the human proteome. Shared epitope homology between viral and human proteins suggests that molecular mimicry and epitope spreading events may play a role in dermatomyositis pathogenesis.
