The purification and application of biologically active recombinant steroid cytochrome P450 21-hydroxylase: the major autoantigen in autoimmune Addison's diseaseEirik Bratland
Department of Medicine, Section for Endocrinology, Institute of Medicine, Haukeland University Hospital, Bergen, Norway
J Autoimmun 33:58-67. 2009..We conclude that the recombinant preparation of 21OH presented here is of sufficient purity and quality to be used for studies of cellular and humoral immunity in autoimmune Addison's disease...
T cell responses to steroid cytochrome P450 21-hydroxylase in patients with autoimmune primary adrenal insufficiencyEirik Bratland
Department of Medicine, Haukeland University Hospital, N 5021 Bergen, Norway
J Clin Endocrinol Metab 94:5117-24. 2009..Autoantibodies against the steroidogenic cytochrome P450 enzyme 21-hydroxylase (21OH) are found in most patients, and 21OH is therefore a likely target for antigen-specific T cells...
Cellular immunity and immunopathology in autoimmune Addison's diseaseEirik Bratland
Department of Medicine, Haukeland University Hospital, N 5021 Bergen, Norway
Mol Cell Endocrinol 336:180-90. 2011..The aim of the present review is to summarize the current knowledge on the role of T cells and cellular immunity in the pathogenesis of autoimmune Addison's disease...
Radioimmunoassay for autoantibodies against interferon omega; its use in the diagnosis of autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type IBergithe E Oftedal
Section of Endocrinology, Institute of Medicine, University of Bergen, Bergen, Norway
Clin Immunol 129:163-9. 2008..It provides an alternative, sensitive and specific diagnostic test for APS I, and an ideal screening tool to precede mutational analyses of the AIRE gene in suspected APS I cases...
The substrate-binding domain of 21-hydroxylase, the main autoantigen in autoimmune Addison's disease, is an immunodominant T cell epitopeEystein S Husebye
Department of Immunology, The Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel
Endocrinology 147:2411-6. 2006..21OH (342-361) corresponds to the substrate binding site of the enzyme. The p342-361 region may be involved in the pathogenesis of autoimmune adrenal failure in humans...
Epitope mapping of human aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylaseEirik Bratland
Department of Medicine, Haukeland University Hospital, N 5021 Bergen, Norway
Biochem Biophys Res Commun 353:692-8. 2007..Replacement of amino acids 227-230 (ERDK) with alanine residues reduced the reactivity towards AADC by >80% in all patient sera tested, suggesting that amino acids 227-230 are an important part of an immunodominant epitope...
