Journal Article
Evaluation of the anti-cardiolipin antibody test: report of an international workshop held 4 April 1986.
TL;DR: This study shows that properly performed ELISA or SRIA assays can be used to provide an accurate, reproducible, and quantitative measure of IgG and IgM aCL concentration in serum samples.
Journal ArticleDOI
Morbidity and mortality in systemic lupus erythematosus during a 5-year period - A multicenter prospective study of 1,000 patients
Ricard Cervera,M. A. Khamashta,Josep Font,Gian Domenico Sebastiani,Antonio Gil,Lavilla P,A. O. Aydintug,A. Jedryka-Goral,E de Ramón,Antonio Fernández-Nebro,Mauro Galeazzi,H. J. Haga,A. Mathieu,Frédéric Houssiau,Guillermo Ruiz-Irastorza,Miguel Ingelmo,G. R. V. Hughes +16 more
TL;DR: Several immunologic parameters (anti-dsDNA or antiphospholipid antibodies) were found to have a predictive value for the development of SLE manifestations during the period of the study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased rate of lupus flare during pregnancy and the puerperium: a prospective study of 78 pregnancies
Guillermo Ruiz-Irastorza,F. Lima,José Delgado Alves,Munther A. Khamashta,Julie A. Simpson,G. R. V. Hughes,N. M. M. Buchanan +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that SLE tends to flare during pregnancy, maximal during the second and third trimester and the puerperium, and most of the flares can be managed conservatively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endothelial cells as target for antiphospholipid antibodies : Human polyclonal and monoclonal anti-β2-glycoprotein I antibodies react in vitro with endothelial cells through adherent β2-glycoprotein I and induce endothelial activation
N. Del Papa,L Guidali,Angelo Sala,Carola Buccellati,Munther A. Khamashta,Kenji Ichikawa,Takao Koike,G. Balestrieri,Angela Tincani,G. R. V. Hughes,Pl Meroni +10 more
TL;DR: These findings support the hypothesis that anti-beta 2 GPI antibodies bind and activate EC through the adherent cofactor beta 2 G PI, likely leading to a procoagulant state.
Journal ArticleDOI
ANTIPHOSPHOLIPID ANTIBODIES AFFECT TROPHOBLAST GONADOTROPIN SECRETION AND INVASIVENESS BY BINDING DIRECTLY AND THROUGH ADHERED β2-GLYCOPROTEIN I
N. Di Simone,Pl Meroni,N. Del Papa,Elena Raschi,Dario Caliandro,S. De Carolis,Munther A. Khamashta,Tatsuya Atsumi,G. R. V. Hughes,G. Balestrieri,Angela Tincani,Paolo Casali,Alessandro Caruso +12 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that aPL recognition of both anionic PL and adhered beta2GPI on trophoblast cell structures might represent a potential pathogenetic mechanism for defective placentation in women with the antiphospholipid syndrome.
