Humoral immune profiling of mycobacterial antigen recognition in sarcoidosis and Löfgren’s syndrome using high-content peptide microarrays

Humoral immune profiling of mycobacterial antigen recognition in sarcoidosis and Löfgren’s syndrome using high-content peptide microarrays

Introduction: Sarcoidosis is considered an idiopathic granulomatous disease, although similar immunological and clinical features with tuberculosis (TB) suggest mycobacterial involvement in its pathogenesis. High-content peptide microarrays (HCPM) may help to decipher mycobacteria-specific antibody...
