Is thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor antigen (TAFIag) level significant in recurrent miscarriage?
The findings of the present study indicated that TAFIag level was not associated with recurrent miscarriages.
This is the first animal model that links an immune response to P gingivalis enolase to an important subset of RA, defined by antibodies to citrullinated α-enolase in the context of DR4. The fact that arthritis and anti-CEP-1 antibodies were induced independent of citrullination of the immunizing antigen suggests that the unmodified form of α-enolase may be important in initiating the corresponding subset of human RA.
