Abstract A major problem in autoimmunity has been identification of the earliest events that lead to breach of tolerance. Although there have been major advances in dissecting effector pathways and the multi-lineage immune responses to mitochondrial self-antigens in primary bilia…
Abstract The identification of environmental factors that lead to loss of tolerance has been coined the Holy Grail of autoimmunity. Our work has focused on the reactivity of antimitochondrial autoantibodies (AMA) to chemical xenobiotics and has hypothesized that a modified peptid…
Abstract The detection of antimitochondrial antibodies (AMA) is the specific diagnostic marker for primary biliary cholangitis. Indeed, it is the most specific autoantibody in clinical autoimmunity, with a high titer directed response to the inner lipoyl domain of PDC-E2. The cur…
Abstract To determine if deoxycytidyl-deoxyguanosine oligonucleotides (CpG ODN) can be used effectively as nonspecific inducers of innate immune defenses for preventative or therapeutic interventions in infectious disease models for nonhuman primates, the present study evaluated …
Abstract Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is an autoimmune disease with a strong genetic component characterized by biliary ductular inflammation with eventual liver cirrhosis. The serologic hallmark of PBC is antimitochondrial antibodies that react with the pyruvate dehydrogenase…
Abstract There have been important advances in defining effector mechanisms for several human autoimmune diseases. However, for most human autoimmune diseases, the induction stage is less well defined and there are very few clues on etiology. Our laboratory has focused on definin…

Abstract Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is a liver specific autoimmune disease characterized by antimitochondrial autoantibodies (AMAs) and progressive destruction of intrahepatic bile ducts. The elucidation of early events in the induction of tissue inflammation and autoimmunit…

Distribution and thickness of the eruptive deposits The eruptive deposits on the edifice of the Ontake volcano were investigated along trails on the SE side (Ohtaki Trail), the NE side (Kurosawaguchi Trail), the N side (Ninoike–Gonoike Trail), and the summit area (Figs. 1 , 4 ). …
