2017, Handbook of Systemic Autoimmune DiseasesCitation Excerpt :In addition, shared epitopes have been reported between N-acetyl-glucosamine of the mid-parietal streptococcus cell layer and glycoproteins of mammalian cardiac valve tissue, and another cross-reaction has been found between streptococcal hyaluronate and protein polysaccharide of mammalian cartilage (Robinson and Kehoe, 1992). In addition, antistreptococcal antibodies, cross-reactive with heart antigens and thalamus and subthalamus components, have been found in some patients with carditis and chorea (reviewed by Kaplan and Frengley, 1969). The heart cross-reactive antistreptococcal antibodies, identified by a combination of immunofluorescent and precipitin-absorption techniques, were present in 55% and 58% of patients with active and inactive rheumatic heart disease, respectively, or with acute glomerulonephritis in 24% of patients with recent streptococcal infection and only rarely (2%) in disease controls without rheumatic heart disease or previous streptococcal infection, but the pathogenetic significance of these antibodies remained to be evaluated (Kaplan and Svec, 1964).
Relation of Antimyocardium Antibodies to Mortality in Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction
2006, Archives of Medical ResearchCitation Excerpt :In some cardiovascular pathologies, antimyocardium antibodies (AMA) have been identified as in dilated cardiomyopathy and other heart conditions (1–5) including patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) (6–8).
Organ-Specific Autoimmunity Involvement in Cardiovascular Disease
2003, Handbook of Systemic Autoimmune DiseasesCitation Excerpt :Several methods were used, in the earliest studies, for detection of circulating anti-heart autoantibodies in rheumatic fever. These (reviewed by Kaplan and Frengley, 1969) were later abandoned and included: agglutination tests with collodion particles coated with saline extracts of the heart and other organs, CFT with saline extracts of the heart, liver and spleen, tanned red cell hemagglutination test and anti-globulin consumption with heart homogenate. Subsequently, s-I IFL on cryostat-cut sections became the method of choice; however, tissue substrates were various and included: human or rat myocardium (Van der Geld, 1964), normal human myocardium obtained at autopsy or surgery in subjects with congenital heart defects (Zabriskie et al., 1970; Engle et al., 1974), normal human myocardium of O blood group, obtained at surgery in subjects with congenital heart defects (Maisch et al., 1979).
