We evaluated the epitopic specificity pattern of anti-human thyroglobulin (anti-hTg) autoantibodies from patients with primary Sjogren's syndrome (SS). All of the primary SS sera tested contained both IgC and IgM anti-hTg autoantibodies recognizing at least 1 region on hTg; in 65% of the cases, 3 or
## Abstract ## Objective Fibroblasts play a crucial role in the development of systemic sclerosis (SSc), and antifibroblast antibodies (AFAs) capable of inducing a proinflammatory phenotype in fibroblasts have been detected in the sera of SSc patients. This study examined the prevalence of AFAs in
