A hypothesis for the HLA-B27 immune dysregulation in spondyloarthropathy: contributions from enteric organisms, B27 structure, peptides bound by B27, and convergent evolution.
Antibodies to vesicular stomatitis virus proteins in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and in normal subjects.
Presence of anti-La(SS-B) is associated with binding to the 13-kD carboxyl terminus of 60-kD Ro(SS-A) in systemic lupus erythematosus.
A common autoepitope near the carboxyl terminus of the 60-kD Ro ribonucleoprotein: sequence similarity with a viral protein.
Autoantigenicity of Ro/SSA antigen is related to a nucleocapsid protein of vesicular stomatitis virus.
