Disease relevance of SEPSECS

  • Identification of target antigen for SLA/LP autoantibodies in autoimmune hepatitis [1].
  • Methods We tested 2000 serum samples from patients with various liver diseases and controls for SLA autoantibodies by inhibition ELISA [1].
  • Expressed in Escherichia coli, SLA-p35 showed dose-dependent and complete blocking of reactivity to native SLA antigen after preabsorption with the 35-kd recombinant protein [2].
  • Autoantibodies against a soluble liver antigen (SLA) were detected in 23 patients with HBsAg-negative chronic active hepatitis (CAH) but not in 502 patients with various other hepatic and non-hepatic disorders or 165 healthy blood donors [3].
  • All individuals presented with the cutaneous clinical form of leishmaniasis and were analyzed for proliferative responses to LACK antigen and SLA, frequency of lymphocyte subpopulations (analyzed ex vivo), and antigen-induced (LACK and SLA) cytokine production at the single-cell level (determined by flow cytometry) [4].
 

High impact information on SEPSECS

  • Autoantibodies to soluble liver antigen (SLA) and to liver and pancreas antigen (LP) have been described as disease specific, occurring in about 30% of all patients with autoimmune hepatitis, but no standardised assays are available [1].
  • Identified clones were tested against a panel of serum samples positive for SLA and LP autoantibodies and control serum samples, and the epitope mapped by deletion mutants and exonuclease digestion [1].
  • CONCLUSIONS: Glutathione S-transferase subunit proteins represent the major autoantigen in anti-SLA-positive AIH [5].
  • The insertion of the putative retrotransposon was shown to interfere with gene expression, with no SLA transcripts being detected by RNA gel blot analysis in a self-incompatible B. oleracea var botrytis line carrying an interrupted SLA gene [6].
  • However, analysis of seven B. oleracea var botrytis lines exhibiting both self-compatible and self-incompatible phenotypes showed that these lines carry an S allele very similar or identical to that of the B. oleracea var acephala line and that the SLA gene is interrupted by an insert in all seven lines [6].

Associations of SEPSECS with chemical compounds

  • Therefore we used a new theoretical method called fold recognition and could show that the SLA/LP sequence is compatible with the architecture of the superfamily of pyridoxal phosphate (PLP; vitamin B6)-dependent transferases [17].
  • PBSCs mobilized with pSCF/pIL-3 were infused into an SLA-matched recipient conditioned with cyclophosphamide (50 mg/kg) and total body irradiation 1150 cGy [18].
  • To study the biological implications of this modification, CaCo-2 cells were incubated with either LA or sulphated lithocholic acid (3-sulpholithocholic acid, SLA), and in some experiments with taurine-conjugated lithocholic acid [19].
  • Patients treated with gemcitabine had a similar 10-month LP rate (62% vs. 61%), 10-month DM rate (55% vs. 47%), 1-year OS rate (42% vs. 28%), and median OS duration (11 months vs. 9 months) to patients treated with 5 FU (all p = NS) [20].
  • Altrenogest (ALT), a synthetic progestogen, and exogenous gonadotropins were administered to the Swine Leukocyte Antigen (SLA) inbred miniature pig that typically has a reduced ovulation rate and small litter size [21].
 

Other interactions of SEPSECS

  • In conclusion, the exquisite epitope specificity and IgG subtype are evidence for the maturity of the SLA/LP autoantibody response; a specific autoantigen-driven process underlying the immunopathogenesis is likely [11].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of SEPSECS

  • Autoantibodies to soluble liver antigen and liver pancreas (SLA/LP) have been described as specific markers for Autoimmune Hepatitis (AIH), occurring in about 20% of patients with AIH [11].
  • Anti-SLA cannot be detected by immunofluorescence [3].
  • The immunoprecipitation of the SLA RNA by antibodies against common proteins does not require an association between the SLA RNA and the SL RNP [22].
  • The SLA antigens were reduced and alkylated, and the component heavy and light chains were isolated by gel filtration under dissociating conditions [23].
  • CONCLUSIONS: Antibodies to SLA/LP can be reliably detected by these standardised immunoassays based on recombinant antigen [24].
