Stimulating autoantibodies against PDGF receptors as pathological markers and therapeutic targets

摘要

An in vitro method for detecting the presence in a body sample of auto-antibodies for the PDGF receptor suitable for the diagnosis and prognosis of autoimmune diseases, in particular the systemic sclero-is and related diagnostic kits. Use of an inhibitor of ROS and/or Ras-ERK1/2 for the preparation of a medicament for therapeutic treatment of autoimmune diseases or of treating the Graft-Versus-Host-Reaction (GVHR). Pharmaceutical composition comprising an effective amount of an inhibitor of ROS and/or Ras-ERK1/2, and proper diluents, and/or excipients, and/or adjuvants.
