Micelle-associated protein in epoetin formulations: aA risk factor for immunogenicity?
Eprex/Erypo contains micelle-associated epoetin, which may be a risk factor for the development of antibodies against epoetin.
Our findings confirm the MHC as the major genetic region associated with DM and indicate that DM shares non-MHC genetic features with other autoimmune diseases, suggesting the presence of additional novel risk loci. This first identification of autoimmune disease genetic predispositions shared with DM may lead to enhanced understanding of pathogenesis and novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
