Natural IgM antibodies against phosphorylcholine (anti-Pc IgM) resemble C-reactive protein
(CRP) regarding specificity and have gained increasing attention because of their supposed …

Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the presence of activated
immune‐competent cells in the lesions, producing mainly proinflammatory cytokines …

Background Phosphorylcholine (PC) is an important pro‐inflammatory damage‐associated
molecular pattern. Previous data have shown that natural IgM anti‐PC protects against …

Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory condition characterised by an abundance of activated
immunocompetent cells in plaques which cause cardiovascular disease (CVD) when they …

Atherosclerosis and its main consequence, cardiovascular disease (CVD) are nowadays
regarded as chronic inflammatory disease conditions, and CVD is the main cause of death …

Introduction Chronic inflammatory diseases include cardiovascular disease (CVD),
atherosclerosis, rheumatic and autoimmune diseases, and others, constituting a large part of …

Objective Immunoglobulin M antibodies against phosphorylcholine (anti‐PC s) may be
protective in atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and systemic lupus …

Objective. We have recently reported that natural antibodies against phosphorylcholine (anti-
PC) have atheroprotective properties. Here we compare anti-PC with other autoantibodies in …

BACKGROUND: Natural antibodies specific for phosphorylcholine (anti-PC) have been
implicated as protective factors in atherosclerosis. We herein determined the relationship …

Abstract Background Low concentrations of IgM-phosphorylcholine autoantibodies (IgM-anti-
PC) have been shown to be associated with increased risk of incident cardiovascular …
