  2. Anti-actin antibodies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-actin_antibodies

    In coeliac disease, anti-actin antibody levels correlate with the level of intestinal damage. [2] [3] In autoimmune hepatitis, anti-actin antibody levels correlate with patterns of immune recognition, [4] the pattern of recognition was specific to a small percentage of autoimmune hepatitis type 1 or cryptogenic hepatitis patients. [5]

  3. Autoimmune hepatitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoimmune_hepatitis

    Type 1 autoimmune hepatitis. Positive antibodies include: [19] [20] Antinuclear antibody (ANA) Anti-smooth muscle antibody (ASMA) - 65% of people; Anti-actin antibodies; Anti-mitochondrial antibodies - rare except for overlap syndromes with primary biliary cholangitis; Anti-soluble liver antigen/liver pancreas antibody antigen - 20% of people

  4. Immunoglobulin G - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immunoglobulin_G

    Adalimumab is an IgG antibody. The measurement of immunoglobulin G can be a diagnostic tool for certain conditions, such as autoimmune hepatitis, if indicated by certain symptoms. [18] Clinically, measured IgG antibody levels are generally considered to be indicative of an individual's immune status to particular pathogens.

  5. Coombs test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coombs_test

    Since these antibodies sometimes destroy red blood cells they can cause anemia; this test can help clarify the condition. The indirect Coombs test detects antibodies that are floating freely in the blood. [1] These antibodies could act against certain red blood cells; the test can be carried out to diagnose reactions to a blood transfusion. [1]

  6. Immunofluorescence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immunofluorescence

    Photomicrograph of a histological section of human skin prepared for direct immunofluorescence using an anti-IgG antibody. The skin is from a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus and shows IgG deposit at two different places: The first is a band-like deposit along the epidermal basement membrane ("lupus band test" is positive).

  7. Wiskott–Aldrich syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiskott–Aldrich_syndrome

    The majority of children with WAS develop at least one autoimmune disorder, and cancers (mainly lymphoma and leukemia) develop in up to a third of patients. [3] Immunoglobulin M (IgM) levels are reduced, IgA and IgE are elevated, and IgG levels can be normal, reduced, or elevated. [ 4 ]

  8. Autoimmune neutropenia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoimmune_neutropenia

    Autoimmune neutropenia (AIN) is a form of neutropenia which is most common in infants and young children [1] where the body identifies the neutrophils as enemies and makes antibodies to destroy them. Primary autoimmune neutropenia, another name for autoimmune neutropenia, is an autoimmune disease first reported in 1975 that primarily occurs in ...

  9. Hemolytic disease of the newborn - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemolytic_disease_of_the...

    The immune response to A and B antigens, which are widespread in the environment, usually leads to the production of IgM or IgG anti-A and anti-B antibodies early in life. Women of blood type O are more prone than women of types A and B to making IgG anti-A and anti-B antibodies, and these IgG antibodies are able to cross the placenta.
