Autoimmunity against carbonic anhydrase II affects retinal cell functions in autoimmune retinopathy.
Autoantibodies against various retinal proteins, including anti-carbonic anhydrase II (CAII) autoantibodies, have been found in patients with cancer-associated retinopathy and autoimmune retinopathy without diagnosed cancer. We studied sera…

Previous studies have estimated a prevalence of a broad grouping of autoimmune diseases of 3.2%, based on literature review of studies published between 1965 and 1995, and 5.3%, based on national hospitalization registry data in Denmark. We…

Patients with endometriosis significantly develop autoantibodies directed against endometrial proteins, which may be involved in the aetiology of this gynaecological disease. Based on standard Western blot analysis, a 48 kDa protein was loc…
