autochthonous 84 autogenous vaccine<br />

Mitotic spindle NUMA Ovary P-ANCA on ethanol fixed<br />

P-ANCA on formalin fixed PCNA Pemphigoid – primate<br />

esophagus 500×<br />

Reticulin 500× Ribosomal RNP RNA Pol-1 Scl-70<br />

Skeletal muscle 500× Smooth muscle antibody Smooth muscle antibody-1 Sm-RNP<br />

SS-A, SS-B SS-A Threonyl tRNA synthetase PL-7<br />

anti-idiotypic antibody has features of Ab1 and Ab2 on the<br />

same molecule, causing it to be designated Ab1–2, or “autobody.”<br />

The name points to the potential for self aggregation<br />

of the molecules and the potential participation of autobodies<br />

in autoimmune phenomena. Antibodies to phosphorylcholine<br />

(PC) epitope raised in Balb/c mice expressing the<br />

T15 idiotype self aggregate (i.e., bind to one another).<br />

autochthonous<br />

Pertaining to self; occurring in the same subject. Also<br />

called autologous.<br />

autocrine<br />

The action of a hormone, cytokine, or other secreted molecule<br />

on the same cell that synthesized it.<br />

Pemphigus – primate<br />

esophagus 500×<br />

PM–Scl Primate adrenal 500× Primate heart 600×<br />

Primate thyroid<br />

Examples of immunofluorescent stains of autoantibodies associated with various autoimmune diseases.<br />

autocrine factor<br />

A molecule that acts on the same cell that synthesized it,<br />

such as interleukin-2 (IL-2) stimulating the T lymphocyte<br />

that produced it to undergo mitosis.<br />

autofluorescence<br />

Natural fluorescence.<br />

autogenous vaccine<br />

The isolation and culture of microorganisms from an<br />

infected subject. The microorganisms in culture are killed<br />

and used as an immunogen (i.e., a vaccine) to induce protective<br />

immunity in the same subject from which they were<br />

derived. In earlier years, this was a popular method to treat<br />

Staphylococcus aureus-induced skin infections.
