Antinuclear antibodies in postinfectious smell loss - a pilot study [PDF]
Background: Numerous diseases are mediated by autoimmune mechanisms some of which have been shown to be associated with reduced olfactory function, e.g. systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjögren syndrome, psoriasis vulgaris.

The Past, Present, and Future in Antinuclear Antibodies (ANA)
Autoantibodies are a hallmark of autoimmunity and, specifically, antinuclear antibodies (ANAs) are the most relevant autoantibodies present in systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases (SARDs).

Agreement of three commercial anti-extractable nuclear antigen tests: EUROASSAY Anti-ENA Profile, Polycheck Autoimmune Test and FID Connective Profile [PDF]
BackgroundDetection of antibodies to extractable nuclear antigens (ENAs) is needed for the diagnosis in systemic autoimmune diseases. In this study, we compared three reagents using line immunoblot assay (LIA) or multiplex bead immunoassay for detecting ...

Implications of Antiphospholipid and Antineutrophilic Cytoplasmic Antibodies in the Context of Postinfectious Glomerulonephritis. [PDF]
While antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) positivity has been documented in some patients with postinfectious glomerulonephritis (PIGN) and is associated with more severe disease, antiphospholipid antibodies (APA) are not known to be a common ...

Antinuclear human autoantibodies as markers in Nicotiana tabacum pollen tubes
In the present paper we report on the use of antinuclear human autoantibodies as specific markers in Nicotiana tabacum pollen tubes. The antibodies have been tested by fluorescence techniques using a confocal laser scanning microscope. All the antibodies

The evaluation of cellular immune function in elderly patients with systemic lupus erythematosus [PDF]
Background/Aims To evaluate cellular immune function in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients over 60 years old, the association between antinuclear antibody (ANA) titers and the ratio of CD4+ /CD8+ was analyzed in this study.
