Different temporal expression of immunodominant Ro60/60 kDa-SSA and La/SSB apotopes
7 Feb 2007
Abstract excerpt
Opsonization of apoptotic cardiocytes by maternal anti-Ro/SSA and anti-La/SSB antibodies contributes to tissue injury in the neonatal lupus syndrome. The objective of the current study was to quantify the surface membrane expression of Ro/La components during different phases of apoptosis and map the Ro/La apotopes (epitopes expressed on apoptotic cells) bound by cognate antibodies. Multi-parameter flow cytometry...
