Inclusion body myositis in a patient with long standing rheumatoid arthritis treated with anti-TNFalpha and rituximabStefan Vordenbäumen
Department of Endocrinology, Diabetology, and Rheumatology, Heinrich Heine University, Dusseldorf, Germany
Clin Rheumatol 29:555-8. 2010..While an early trial of the lymphocyte-depleting antibody alemtuzumab in IBM showed promising results, selective anti-B-cell-therapy remained without effect in our patient...
Defensins are differentially expressed with respect to the anatomic region in the upper gastrointestinal tract of childrenStefan Vordenbäumen
Department of Endocrinology, Diabetology and Rheumatology, University Hospital Dusseldorf, Dusseldorf, Germany
J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr 49:139-42. 2009..Expression of hBD3 to 6 was inconsistently detected. These results suggest a distinct role for various defensins in host defense in the upper gastrointestinal tract of children...
Casein ? s1 is expressed by human monocytes and upregulates the production of GM-CSF via p38 MAPKStefan Vordenbäumen
Department of Endocrinology, Diabetology and Rheumatology, Institute of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Heinrich Heine University, Dusseldorf, Germany
J Immunol 186:592-601. 2011..Our results indicated that human CSN1S1 may possess an immunomodulatory role beyond its nutritional function in milk. It is expressed in human monocytes and stimulates the expression of the proinflammatory cytokine GM-CSF...
Altered serum levels of human neutrophil peptides (HNP) and human beta-defensin 2 (hBD2) in Wegener's granulomatosisStefan Vordenbäumen
Section of Rheumatology, Department of Endocrinology, Diabetology and Rheumatology, Heinrich Heine University Dusseldorf, Dusseldorf, Germany
Rheumatol Int 31:1251-4. 2011..In conclusion, elevated serum levels of HNP and hBD2 in WG patients suggest a role for both defensins in WG pathogenesis...
[Therapy of dyslipidemia in rheumatic diseases]S Vordenbäumen
Klinik fur Endokrinologie, Diabetologie und Rheumatologie, Heinrich Heine Universitat Dusseldorf, Deutschland
Z Rheumatol 69:689-92, 694-5. 2010..The EULAR recently released recommendations for cardiovascular risk management in patients with inflammatory arthritis...
Elevated levels of human beta-defensin 2 and human neutrophil peptides in systemic lupus erythematosusS Vordenbäumen
Department of Endocrinology, Diabetology, and Rheumatology, Heinrich Heine University Dusseldorf, Germany
Lupus 19:1648-53. 2010..In order to explore whether these defensins may have a role in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), we sought to determine whether altered expression can be found in SLE patients...
Defensin-mRNA expression in the upper gastrointestinal tract is modulated in children with celiac disease and Helicobacter pylori-positive gastritisStefan Vordenbäumen
Department of Endocrinology, Diabetology, and Rheumatology, Heinrich Heine University Dusseldorf, Germany
J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr 50:596-600. 2010..The present study was designed to further characterize expression patterns of defensins in diseases of the upper gastrointestinal tract in children, particularly in Helicobacter pylori (Hp)-associated gastritis or celiac disease (CD)...
Utility of synovial biopsyStefan Vordenbäumen
Department of Endocrinology, Diabetology, and Rheumatology, Heinrich Heine University, 40225 Dusseldorf, Germany
Arthritis Res Ther 11:256. 2009..This review focuses on the diagnostic usefulness of synovial biopsies in the light of actual developments...
Autoantibodies to ?S1-casein are induced by breast-feedingKlaudia Petermann
Institute of Pharmaceutical and Medicinal Chemistry, Heinrich Heine Universitat Dusseldorf, Dusseldorf, Germany
PLoS ONE 7:e32716. 2012..In particular, human ?S1-casein (CSN1S1) was recently shown to possess immunomodulatory properties. We were thus interested to determine if auto-antibodies to CSN1S1 are induced by breast-feeding and may be sustained into adulthood...
Autodisplay of 60-kDa Ro/SS-A antigen and development of a surface display enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for systemic lupus erythematosus patient sera screeningKlaudia Petermann
Bioanalytics, Institute of Pharmaceutical and Medicinal Chemistry, Heinrich Heine University Dusseldorf, 40225 Dusseldorf, Germany
Anal Biochem 407:72-8. 2010..67% and a specificity of 83.33% by a cutoff value of 0.28. Our results show that autodisplay provides simple, rapid, and cheap access to human antigens for an ELISA to screen human sera against specific antibody reactions...
