Anti-nuclear antibody screening using HEp-2 cells. [PDF]
J Vis Exp, 2014 The American College of Rheumatology position statement on ANA testing stipulates the use of IIF as the gold standard method for ANA screening(1). Although IIF is an excellent screening test in expert hands, the technical difficulties of processing and reading IIF slides--such as the labor intensive slide processing, manual reading, the need for ...

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 ...

Anti-HMGB1 antibody is a potential characteristic autoantibody for Sjögren's syndrome
Scientific Reports, 2022 Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is a common chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease that affects about 0.33–0.77% population in China. The positive for antinuclear antibodies (ANA) is one of the key features of SS, which shows a nuclear fine speckled (AC-4 ...
