Determination of Anti-nuclear Antibody Pattern Distribution and Clinical Relationship. [PDF]
Pak J Med Sci, 2014 Autoantibodies are immunglobulins occurred directly against autoantigens that are known as endogen antigens. Autoimmune disease is an occasion that the body begins a fight against its own cells and tissues. The antibodies that are created by the body against its own cell nuclei are called as anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA), and one of the methods used ...
