Use of Single Point Mutations in Domain I of β2-Glycoprotein I to Determine Fine Antigenic Specificity of Antiphospholipid Autoantibodies
1 Dec 2002
Abstract excerpt
Autoantibodies against beta(2)-glycoprotein I (beta(2)GPI) appear to be a critical feature of the antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). As determined using domain deletion mutants, human autoantibodies bind to the first of five domains present in beta(2)GPI. In this study the fine detail of the domain I epitope has been examined using 10 selected mutants of whole beta(2)GPI containing single point mutations in the...
