Background Our laboratory previously reported interesting rods 3–10 μm long and rings 2–5 μm diameter (RR) in the cytoplasm of mammalian cells. Experimental evidence show that both inosine-5'-monophosphate dehydrogenase 2 (IMPDH2) and cytidine triphosphate synthetase (CTPS) are components of RR structures. Several cell types, including mouse embryonic stem cells, and cell lines, such as mouse 3 T3...
Autoantibodies to inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase-2 (IMPDH2), an enzyme involved in de novo biosynthesis of guanine nucleotides, are observed in a subset of hepatitis C virus (HCV) patients receiving interferon alpha (IFN-α) plus ribavirin. Anti-IMPDH2 antibodies display a peculiar cytoplasmic “rod/ring” (RR) pattern in IIF-HEp-2. We examined the dynamics of anti-RR autoimmune response with respect...
