Deskripsi
Autoantibodies against endothelium have been recognized in Takayasu arteritis (TAK). Here the authors identify endothelial protein C receptor and scavenger receptor class B type 1 as major autoantigens in TAK, and find autoantibodies inhibit the negative regulation of endothelial activation.
