Treatment with sirolimus ameliorates tacrolimus-induced autoimmune cytopenias after solid organ transplant.

29 Nov 2009 The development of autoimmune blood cell cytopenias is a potentially life-threatening complication of solid organ transplantation, resulting from T-cell dysregulation from immunosuppressive medications. Conventional treatment with corticosteroids ... Read more...

Drug-induced autoimmunity.

30 Aug 2009 PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review aims to draw attention to the increased spectrum of the features of drug-induced autoimmunity (DIA), including both clinical and autoantibody profiles in addition to the potential chronicity of the syndrome. RECENT ... Read more...

Identification of antigenic proteins associated with trichloroethylene-induced autoimmune disease by serological proteome analysis.

4 Aug 2009 Although many studies indicated that trichloroethylene (TCE) could induce autoimmune diseases and some protein adducts were detected, the proteins were not identified and mechanisms remain unknown. To screen and identify autoantigens which might be ... Read more...
