Serum Antinuclear Antibodies as Indicator of Relapse in Patients with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma
نویسنده
چکیده
Antinuclear antibodies (ANA) are antibodies that bind to several nuclear antigens. ANA have been reported in cancers, suggesting that they may have a role in the pathogenesis of malignancy [4,5]. Many studies have reported that NHL patients could display ANA antibodies [6,7]. This study assessed serum levels of ANA in NHL patients and examined its association with hematological, clinicopathological, and immunophenotyping parameters of NHL and assessed whether high ANA titres are related to relapse in NHL.

Blood serum has been extensively explored as a source of the bio-markers [1, 2]. For concentration of minor protein(s) and depletion of abundant blood serum proteins a 2,2,2-trichloroacetic acid (TCA) precipitation procedure is frequently applied [3]. However, a significant amount of proteins may be present in the TCA extracts, and these proteins are often not studied.Recently, we have sh...
