Background Previous studies have shown improvement in left ventricular function after
intracoronary injection of autologous cells derived from bone marrow (BMC) in the acute phase of …

Objective To compare muscle strength, physical health, and HLA–DRB1 allele carriage
frequencies in patients with longstanding juvenile dermatomyositis (DM) with that of controls, …

Unlike chimeric antigen receptors, T-cell receptors (TCRs) can recognize intracellular targets
presented on human leukocyte antigen (HLA) molecules. Here we demonstrate that T cells …

Purpose About 20–30% of patients with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID)
develop granulomatous-lymphocytic interstitial lung disease (GLILD) as one of several non-…

Background The phenotypic stability of mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) is not clear,
and knowledge about disease activity and remission is scarce. We aimed to establish the …

Background & Aims The strongest genetic risk factors in primary sclerosing cholangitis ( PSC
) are encoded in the HLA complex. Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies ( ANCA ) have …

Patients with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) have reduced numbers and
frequencies of dendritic cells (DCs) in blood, and there is also evidence for defective activation …

Objective. Extensive skin disease and renal crisis are hallmarks of anti-RNA polymerase III (RNAP)-positive
systemic sclerosis (SSc), while lung and heart involvement data are …

Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is a heterogeneous group of diseases. Our aim
was to define sub-groups of CVID patients with similar phenotypes and clinical …

Objective. Phenotypical changes in the human bone marrow (BM) due to age and stress
have not so far been properly addressed in the literature. In the present study, we compared …
