Disease relevance of Oophoritis

 

High impact information on Oophoritis

  • A strong argument against an autoimmune pathogenesis of POF in these patients is the nearly absent histological confirmation (the presence of an oöphoritis) in these cases (< 3%) [2].
  • These T cells, which produced comparable amounts of interleukin 4 and interferon gamma in vitro, were able to transfer oophoritis to normal recipients [3].
  • Herein we show that blockage of glycoprotein (gp)39 and CD40 interaction with gp39 monoclonal antibody (mAb) results in the failure to induce both autoimmune oophoritis and autoantibody production [3].
  • Study on cellular events in post-thymectomy autoimmune oophoritis in mice. II. Requirement of Lyt-1 cells in normal female mice for the prevention of oophoritis [4].
  • The phenotypic spectrum of AOD is characterized by the development of anti-ovarian autoantibodies, oophoritis, and atrophy [5].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Oophoritis

  • We describe the clinical course of three women with presumptive autoimmune oophoritis who developed multiple follicles but very low to undetectable estradiol levels [6].
  • In mice with oophoritis, circulating autoantibodies against, ooplasm, zona pellucida, or steroid-producing cells were constantly detected by immunohistochemical assay [7].
  • Levels of estradiol 17 beta (E2) and testosterone (T) did not vary in the Tx-3 mice compared to those of the intact mice through 21 months of age but progesterone levels were lower during the exacerbation of the autoimmune oophoritis and tumor development [8].
  • Oophoritis in a dog with abnormal corpus luteum function [9].
 

Anatomical context of Oophoritis

 

Gene context of Oophoritis

  • Congenic mapping studies revealed that Aod1 controls susceptibility to oophoritis and comprises two linked QTL with opposing allelic effects [13].
  • Manipulations that restored the postnatal shift to an adult Th1-dominant pattern ameliorated the autoimmune oophoritis [14].
  • Murine postthymectomy autoimmune oophoritis develops in association with a persistent neonatal-like Th2 response [14].
  • When mated, recovered mice were fertile and produced normal litters; and, as recipients of a ZP3-specific T cell line, their ovaries developed oophoritis [10].
  • Oophoritis resistance was not explicable by immunosuppressive effect of CFA priming, nor by suppression of pathogenic T cells [10].
