Autoantibodies

Dr. Chan’s laboratory has a long history of the identification and characterization of specific autoimmune target antigens in different systemic rheumatic diseases. His early work focused on the study of human autoantibodies and autoantigens in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and Sjögren’s syndrome (SjS), including the characterization of SS-B/La and the initial identification and cloning of the Ro52/TRIM21 autoantigen (J Clin Invest. 1991; 87:68-76). His laboratory has been highly successful in using unique autoimmune antibodies as probes to identify and clone a number of interesting macromolecules:

  • the ribosomal RNA transcription factor NOR90/hUBF, localized to the nucleolar organizer region (NOR) on mitotic chromosomes (J Exp Med. 1991; 174:1239-44)
  • p80-coilin, the primary marker for the Cajal body (J Exp Med. 1991; 173:1407-19)
  • a coiled-coil-rich protein family of Golgi autoantigens known as golgins (J Exp Med. 1993; 178:49-62; Arthritis Rheum. 1997; 40:1693-1702; Autoimmun Rev. 2005; 4:35-41)
  • GW182, a marker protein for cytoplasmic foci GW Bodies, also known as mammalian processing bodies (Mol Biol Cell. 2002; 13:1338-51)
  • rods and rings (RRs), large filamentous or annular assemblies of IMPDH, CTPS, and other proteins under investigation (PLoS One. 2011; 6:e29690; Antivir Ther. 2012; 17:805-11)

Dr. Chan’s laboratory also actively participates in the International Consensus on ANA Patterns (ICAP) – www.ANApatterns.org.
