IgE autoantibodies and their association with the disease activity and phenotype in Bullous Pemphigoid: a systematic review (2017)
Journal Article
Hadjikyriacou Saniklidou, A., Tighe, P. J., Fairclough, L. C., & Todd, I. (in press). IgE autoantibodies and their association with the disease activity and phenotype in Bullous Pemphigoid: a systematic review. Archives of Dermatological Research, 310(1), https://doi.org/10.1007/s00403-017-1789-1

Bullous Pemphigoid (BP) is the most common autoimmune skin disease of blistering character. The underlying pathophysiological mechanism involves an immune attack, usually by IgG class autoantibodies, on the autoantigen BP 180/BPAg2, which is a type X...

Autoantibodies of IgM and IgG classes show differences in recognition of multiple autoantigens in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (2017)
Journal Article
Shindi, R., Al-Mehairi, A., Negm, O. H., Kalsheker, N., Gale, N., Shale, D. J., Harrison, T. W., Bolton, C. E., John, M., Todd, I., Tighe, P. J., & Fairclough, L. C. (2017).

Clinical Immunology, 183, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.clim.2017.09.020

Autoimmunity occurs in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We describe an antigen microarray for detecting serum autoantibodies (AAbs) to determine how IgM, as well as IgG, AAbs distinguish patients with COPD from controls with a history of...

© 2017 Influenza vaccination is estimated to only be effective in 17–53% of older adults. Multiple patient behaviors and psychological factors have been shown to act as ‘immune modulators’ sufficient to influence vaccination outcomes. However, the re...

© 2017 Elsevier Ltd TNF receptor associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS) is an autoinflammatory disease caused by mutations in TNF Receptor 1 (TNFR1). Current therapies for TRAPS are limited and do not target the pro-inflammatory signalling pathways tha...
