    • 21-Hydroxylase-Specific CD8+ T Cells in Autoimmune Addison’s Disease Are Restricted by HLA-A2 and HLA-C7 Molecules 

      Hellesen, Alexander; Aslaksen, Sigrid; Breivik, Lars Ertesvåg; Røyrvik, Ellen Christine; Bruserud, Øyvind; Edvardsen, Kine Susann Waade; Brokstad, Karl Albert; Wolff, Anette Susanne Bøe; Husebye, Eystein Sverre; Bratland, Eirik (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Objectives: CD8+ T cells targeting 21-hydroxylase (21OH) are presumed to play a central role in the destruction of adrenocortical cells in autoimmune Addison’s disease (AAD). Earlier reports have suggested two immunodominant ...

    • Coexistence of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia and Autoimmune Addison's Disease 

      Aslaksen, Sigrid; Methlie, Paal; Vigeland, Magnus Dehli; Jøssang, Dag Eirik; Wolff, Anette Susanne Bøe; Sheng, Ying; Oftedal, Bergithe Eikeland; Skinningsrud, Beate; Undlien, Dag Erik; Selmer, Kaja Kristine; Husebye, Eystein Sverre; Bratland, Eirik (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-09-27)
      Background: Underlying causes of adrenal insufficiency include congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) and autoimmune adrenocortical destruction leading to autoimmune Addison's disease (AAD). Here, we report a patient with a ...

    • Functional characterization of genetic risk factors in autoimmune Addison’s disease 

      Aslaksen, Sigrid (Doctoral thesis, 2020-10-23)
      Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system attacks and damages the body’s own tissue. Why people develop these diseases, and how the autoimmune reaction develops are unanswered questions. Autoimmune Addison's disease ...

    • The polymorphism L412F in TLR3 inhibits autophagy and is a marker of severe COVID-19 in males 

      Croci, Susanna; Venneri, Mary Anna; Mantovani, Stefania; Fallerini, Chiara; Benetti, Elisa; Picchiotti, Nicola; Campolo, Federica; Imperatore, Francesco; Palmieri, Maria; Daga, Sergio; Gabbi, Chiara; Montagnani, Francesca; Beligni, Giada; Farias, Ticiana D.J.; Carriero, Miriam Lucia; Di Sarno, Laura; Alaverdian, Diana; Aslaksen, Sigrid; Cubellis, Maria Vittoria; Spiga, Ottavia; Baldassarri, Margherita; Fava, Francesca; Norman, Paul J.; Frullanti, Elisa; Isidori, Andrea M.; Amoroso, Antonio; Mari, Francesca; Furini, Simone; Mondelli, Mario U; GEN-COVID multicenter study, multicenter; Chiariello, Mario; Renieri, Alessandra; Meloni, I. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      The polymorphism L412F in TLR3 has been associated with several infectious diseases. However, the mechanism underlying this association is still unexplored. Here, we show that the L412F polymorphism in TLR3 is a marker of ...
