Polymorphic structure of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) locus: an NcoI polymorphism in the first intron of the human TNF-beta gene correlates with a variant amino acid in position 26 and a reduced…
Since a dysregulated synthesis of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF- alpha) may be involved in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases, it was of interest to precisely locate the recently reported… Expand

Tumor necrosis factor beta (TNF-beta) induces binding of the NF-kappa B transcription factor to a high-affinity kappa B element in the TNF-beta promoter.
The expression of the gene encoding tumor necrosis factor beta (TNF-beta) (lymphotoxin) is induced in T cells by various extracellular stimuli. We noticed that most such stimuli also activate the… Expand

Cicatricial pemphigoid: IgA and IgG autoantibodies target epitopes on both intra‐ and extracellular domains of bullous pemphigoid antigen 180
Background Cicatricial pemphigoid (CP) is an autoimmune subepidermal blistering disease where autoantibodies target various components of the dermal–epidermal junction, including the bullous… Expand
