Development of autoantibodies before the clinical onset of systemic lupus erythematosus.

TL;DR: The onset and progression of autoantibody development before the clinical diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus is investigated, with a progressive accumulation of specificAutoantibodies before the onset of SLE, while patients are still asymptomatic.
Journal ArticleDOI

Early events in lupus humoral autoimmunity suggest initiation through molecular mimicry.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that some humoral autoimmunity in human lupus arises through molecular mimicry between EBNA-1 and l upus autoantigens is supported and further evidence to suspect an etiologic role for Epstein-Barr virus in SLE is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical criteria for systemic lupus erythematosus precede diagnosis, and associated autoantibodies are present before clinical symptoms.

TL;DR: Symptoms associated with the ACR criteria for classification of SLE are commonly present before the diagnosis of Sle, and development of organ-associated autoantibodies generally precedes the appearance of their associated clinical features.
