When detecting antinuclear antibodies (ANA) a similar indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) pattern may be produced by antibodies which correspond to different antigenic specificity or to diverse autoimmune disorders. To circumvent this problem, we used an immunoblotting against total antigen from HEp-2

Interest in the assessment of autoantibody specificity stems from the need for an autoantibody marker capable of predicting clinical events in autoimmune disorders. However, the multiplicity of epitopes present on autoantigenic particles, the quantitative and qualitative heterogeneity of autoantibod
Celiac disease (CD) may be found in association with other autoimmune diseases. We investigated the relation between autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) and CD by assessing the prevalence of IgA and IgG anti-tissue transglutaminase (tTG) antibodies in AIH, and by verifying whether the findings were associate
