HLA antibodies in lupus patients
Part of Immune system & allergy, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks for certain immune markers (HLA antibodies) in stored blood samples from people with lupus. It may help doctors understand how the immune system behaves in lupus.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 years or older)
- You have been diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus)
- You have never been pregnant, received a blood transfusion, or had an organ transplant
- You have a stored blood sample available in the hospital's biobank

This study looks at how certain immune cells (natural killer T cells) behave in people with systemic lupus, by measuring specific immune receptor markers in blood. It may help researchers better understand lupus and how it can connect with other conditions like antiphospholipid syndrome or Sjögren’s.
This research study aims to better understand systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), an autoimmune disease where the body's immune system attacks its own tissues. Researchers will evaluate patients with lupus, study genetic factors, and perform optional imaging tests to learn how the disease affects blood vessels and the heart.
This research study collects samples and information from people with rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or scleroderma, plus healthy volunteers, to better understand how the immune system works in these conditions. By comparing these groups, researchers hope to find new ways to treat and manage autoimmune diseases.
This study looks at two simple blood tests to see if they can help doctors understand and predict how lupus-related kidney disease (lupus nephritis) is progressing. The goal is to improve monitoring and treatment decisions for people with this condition.
This study aims to find better ways to detect kidney problems in people with lupus by testing blood and urine samples. If you have lupus, you may help researchers improve how kidney disease is diagnosed and monitored.
This study looks at immune cells in people with certain autoimmune diseases or immune deficiencies. The goal is to understand how these cells work, which may help improve future treatments.
