In Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO) intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) is thought to play a key role in lymphocyte infiltration into the orbit, and serum levels of its soluble form are positively correlated to clinical activity score (CAS). Serum antibodies against collagen XIII (CollXIIIAb), a plasma membrane protein expressed at a low level in almost all connective tissue-producing cells, have been detected in GO, but their significance is unclear. The aim of this study was to search for CollXIIIAb in Graves' patients with and without ophthalmopathy and to correlate their levels with CAS and with serum soluble ICAM-1 (sICAM-1) values.
