Peripherin-reactive antibodies in mouse, rabbit, and human bloodAlexander Strom
Chronic Disease Program, Ottawa Hospital Research Institute, Department of Biochemistry, Microbiology and Immunology, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
J Proteome Res 9:1203-8. 2010..These findings point to the need for a re-evaluation of PRPH as a T1D autoantigen in NOD mice and raise the question of the physiological relevance of such widespread immune reactivity against this peripheral nervous system protein...
