  Background: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease which may be caused by development of the autoantibodies. On the other hand, SLE is a high-risk group of atherosclerosis, so it is possible that some of autoantibodies in SLE are the result of atherosclerosis-related diseases such as cerebral infarction (CI), cardiovascular disease (CVD) and diabetes mellitus (DM). Methods: The initial screening of autoantibodies was performed using the protein array method. AlphaLISA was used to analyze the serum antibody levels using synthetic polypeptides as antigens. Results: After the initial screening using protein array, we identified 67 antigens that were recognized by IgG antibodies in sera of patients with SLE. In the second screening, 170 peptides derived from amino acid sequences of 67 antigens were.. Read More»
