In vivo antinuclear antibody of the skin: diagnostic significance and association with selective antinuclear antibodies.
Immunofluorescence microscopy of the skin has disclosed antibodies bound to epidermal cell nuclei in several connective tissue disorders. To establish the diagnostic potential of this phenomenon the results of immunofluorescence microscopy of biopsy specimens from 1651 subjects with various diseases and from 315 patients with systemic connective tissue disorders and related diseases were review...
متن کاملExperimental and clinical significance of antinuclear antibodies in liver transplantation.
Histone H1 and high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) proteins are known to initiate an immune reaction, and the corresponding antibodies (Abs) possess immunosuppressive activity.

متن کاملAntinuclear antibodies in patients with Raynaud's phenomenon: clinical significance of anticentromere antibodies.
Antinuclear antibodies (ANA) were detected in the sera of 73 out of 138 patients (53%) referred to us because of Raynaud's phenomenon. When ANA were found, systemic manifestations were likely to be present. The use of human fibroblast monolayers as a nuclear substrate allowed differentiation of several fluorescence patterns, including the discrete speckled variety produced by anticentromere ant...
