Anti‐Tissue IgG Antibodies and Deficiency of IgA

Immunodeficiency and Autoimmunity

“…This par ticularly applies for connective tissue diseases [3,5,8,9,14], but IgA deficiency is also found in warm-type autoimmune haemolytic anaemia [6,7,14], pernicious anaemia [5,[10][11][12] and thyroid disease [2,3,5,13]. The autoantibodies observed include antinuclear antibodies [1,14], antibodies against striated [1,3] and smooth muscle [3], antibodies to the intercellular areas of stratified epithelium [1], gastric parietal cell and intrinsic factor antibodies [12], thyroglobulin antibodies [3], and an tibodies to native human collagen [18].…”

Autoantibodies, including antibasement membrane antibody, in patients with selective IgA deficiency.

“…Tohoku J. exp. Med., 1985, 145 (1), [49][50][51][52][53][54][55] Laboratory data are presented on 48 patients with selective IgA deficiency. Sixty percent of the patients had autoimmune diseases or related disorders.…”
