Hom s 2, the alpha-chain of the nascent polypeptide-associated complex, is an intracellular autoantigen that has been identified with IgE autoantibodies from atopic dermatitis patients. We investigated the humoral and cellular immune response to purified recombinant Hom s 2 (rHom s 2). rHom s 2 exhibited IgE reactivity comparable to exogenous allergens, but did not induce relevant basophil cell degranulation. The latter may be attributed to the fact that patients recognized single epitopes on…

Cytokine effects induced by the human autoallergen α-NAC.
TLDR
Insight is provided into the mechanisms of autoallergy, investigating the interplay of immune cells, signaling events, and cytokines, which are known to be relevant in atopic skin inflammation.
Transglutaminase 3 promotes skin inflammation in atopic dermatitis by activating monocyte-derived dendritic cells via DC-SIGN.
Most Highly Cytokinergic IgEs Have Polyreactivity to Autoantigens
TLDR
It is shown that most HC, but not PC, IgEs exhibit polyreactivity to autoantigens, supporting the autoimmune mechanism in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis.
α-NAC–Specific Autoreactive CD8+ T Cells in Atopic Dermatitis Are of an Effector Memory Type and Secrete IL-4 and IFN-γ
TLDR
The observed phenotype of α-NAC–specific CD8+ T cells indicates a role in the pathogenesis of AD, and the frequency and inflammatory phenotype of autoallergen-specific T cells is investigated.
Highly Cytokinergic IgE Antibodies and Autoimmune Mechanisms
TLDR
The findings suggest that an autoimmune mechanism is a part of chronic inflammation in a subset of atopic dermatitis patients, although they did not screen serum specific IgE to potential auto-antigens related with skin inflammation.
Staphylococcus aureus fibronectin-binding protein specifically binds IgE from patients with atopic dermatitis and requires antigen presentation for cellular immune responses.
Exploring the repertoire of IgE-binding self-antigens associated with atopic eczema.
Humoral and Cellular Autoreactivity to Epidermal Proteins in Atopic Dermatitis
TLDR
The pathogenesis of AD is evaluated and the emerging role of autoreactivity to various keratinocyte antigens involving both the humoral and cellular components of the immune system is evaluated.
The adaptive immune system in atopic dermatitis and implications on therapy
TLDR
In vitro data indicate, however, that the T cell response is not solely Th2-polarized but may lead to heterogeneous cytokine production involving IFN-γ and IL-17 in an allergen-dependent manner, and that therapeutic approaches withallergen specific immunotherapy aim to induce regulatory T cells of the Tr1 type.
The Ige-Binding Self-Antigens Tubulin-ÃÂ and HLA-DR-ÃÂ are Overexpressed in Lesional Skin of Atopic Eczema Patients
TLDR
The expression of tubulin-α and HLA-DR-α is up-regulated in atopic eczema lesions compared to nonlesional or healthy skin and correlates with the number of infiltrating immune cells and the degree of inflammation.

Hom s 4, an IgE-Reactive Autoantigen Belonging to a New Subfamily of Calcium-Binding Proteins, Can Induce Th Cell Type 1-Mediated Autoreactivity1
TLDR
Hom s 4-induced IFN-γ production was found in normal individuals, in patients with chronic inflammatory skin diseases and in Th2-prone atopic persons, suggesting that Hom s 4 represents a protein with an intrinsic property to induce Th1-mediated autoreactivity.
Molecular characterization of an autoallergen, Hom s 1, identified by serum IgE from atopic dermatitis patients.
TLDR
To unravel the molecular nature of IgE-defined autoantigens, serum IgE from atopic dermatitis patients were used to screen a human epithelial cDNA expression library and an almost complete sequence identity with a recently described antigen recognized by cytotoxic T cells of a squamous cell carcinoma patient was exhibited.
Immunoglobulin E response to human proteins in atopic patients.
TLDR
The results suggest that IgE autoimmunity occurs frequently in atopic dermatitis patients and may be of pathogenic relevance for the chronicity of skin manifestations typical of this disease.
Characterization of IgE–Reactive Autoantigens in Atopic Dermatitis
TLDR
The results indicate that IgE autoreactivity may represent a true form of autoimmunity directed against partly denatured peptide epitopes which may be boosted by exogenous allergen contact.
Induction of autoallergy with an environmental allergen mimicking a self protein in a murine model of experimental allergic asthma.
Characterization of IgE–Reactive Autoantigens in Atopic Dermatitis 1. Subcellular Distribution and Tissue–Specific Expression
TLDR
Serum IgE from AD patients is used to investigate the distribution of autoantigens in subcellular fractions of the human epithelial cell line A431 and in human tissue specimens and showed that IgE–reactive autoantIGens can be detected in the nuclear > microsomal > mitochondrial > cytoplasmic fraction of A431 cells.

TLDR
It is shown that IgE autoreactivity is found predominantly in AD patients with severe skin manifestations and revealed the molecular nature of four IgE autoantigens, which may contribute to exacerbation and/or perpetuation of severe atopic diseases even in the absence of exogenous allergens.
IgE–Mediated Reactions to Autoantigens in Allergic Diseases
TLDR
These observations provide evidence for autoreactivity to human proteins in allergic persons chronically sensitized to environmental allergens from A. fumigatus which share a high degree of sequence homology to the corresponding human proteins.
