Background Antibodies against cardiolipin and phosphatidylserine (anti-CL and anti-PS) are
associated with thrombosis. In contrast, we determined that IgM antibodies against oxidized …

OBJECTIVE: To determine the importance of antibodies against phosphorylcholine (PC) and
oxidized low density lipoprotein (OxLDL) for development of atherosclerosis. METHODS …

Background We have reported that anti-phosphorylcholine (anti-PC) IgM is a protection
marker for human cardiovascular disease (CVD) and atherosclerosis. We here investigate …

Objective. We have reported that the prevalence of atherosclerotic plaques and their
echolucency was increased in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We here study …

Background Antibodies against cardiolipin (aCL) are associated with increased risk of
cardiovascular disease (CVD). We here determine the role of antibodies against oxidized …

Objective Phosphatidylserine is exposed on apoptotic cells and is prone to oxidation
(OxPS). Here we analyze the association of IgM antibodies against OxPS (anti-OxPS) with …

Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease of middle and large arteries, where activated,
cytokine-producing T cells and monocytes are already present at an early stage of disease …

Background—We recently suggested that many anticardiolipin antibodies bind only to
oxidized cardiolipin (OxCL) and/or to OxCL–β2-glycoprotein 1 (β2GP1) adducts but not to a …

Background Data concerning the relation between anti-phospholipid (aPL) antibodies and
myocardial infarction in subjects without evidence of overt autoimmune disease are …

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