Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) are frequently observed in target organs of autoimmune
diseases. TLS present features of secondary lymphoid organs such as segregated T and B …

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a new class of RNAs that can be used as biomarkers in
clinical blood samples. However, little is known about circRNAs' diagnostic values for …

IgM is secreted as a pentameric polymer containing a peptide called the joining chain (J
chain). However, integration of the J chain is not required for IgM assembly and in its …

Background Rheumatoid factors (RF) are one of the hallmark autoantibodies characteristic
of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and are frequently observed in other diseases and in healthy …

This study is aimed at exploring the levels of peripheral blood circular RNAs (circRNAs) as
biomarker candidates for the diagnosis of new‐onset rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The selected …

Aberrant glycosylation has been observed in many autoimmune diseases. For example,
aberrant glycosylation of immunoglobulin G (IgG) has been implicated in rheumatoid arthritis …

Abstract Peptidoglycan recognition protein‑1 (PGLYRP‑1) is a part of the innate immune
system. It is well‑known that dysregulation of innate immune responses is present in patients …

Background: Accurate measurements of rheumatoid factors (RFs), autoantibodies binding
IgG, are important for diagnosing rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and for predicting disease …

Objective Rheumatoid factors (RFs), which are anti‐IgG autoantibodies strongly associated
with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), are also found in other diseases and in healthy individuals …

Abstract Objectives Rheumatoid factors (RFs) are thought to play an important role in
rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but are also found in healthy donors (HDs). Previous studies …
