Antimitochondrial Antibodies: from Bench to Bedside. [PDF]
Anti-mitochondrial antibodies (AMA) are directed against the E2 subunits of the 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase complexes (PDC-E2) and are the typical biomarkers of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), being present in 90-95% of patients, with increasing sensitivity at increasing titers.

Antimitochondrial antibodies-positive myositis accompanied by cardiac involvement. [PDF]
We report a 55-year-old man who experienced proximal muscle weakness accompanied by the atrial flutter (AFL) with 1:1 conduction. Detailed examination revealed elevated antimitochondrial antibodies (AMA) and creatine kinase (CK). AFL was converted to sinus rhythm by cardioversion. He was diagnosed as AMA-positive myositis-associated AFL and was treated

Antimitochondrial Antibodies and Primary Biliary Cholangitis in Patients with Polymyalgia Rheumatica/Giant Cell Arteritis [PDF]
Background and Objectives: Laboratory liver abnormalities can be observed in patients affected with polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) and/or giant cell arteritis (GCA), especially with a cholestatic pattern.

Antimitochondrial antibody -M2 positive autoimmune hepatitis during standard of care for chronic hepatitis C. [PDF]
The current standard of care (SoC) for chronic hepatitis C, i.e. the combination of a pegylated-interferon (PEG-IFN) with ribavirin (RBV), may activate underlying autoimmune conditions.

What does the antimitochondrial antibody mean? [PDF]
In a prospective survey positive antimitochondrial antibodies have been detected in 69/4200 (1.64%) of all sera submitted to a routine immunology laboratory. Of the 69, only nine patients had uniquivocal primary biliary cirrhosis, six others had chronic active hepatitis, 10 had abnormal liver function tests without evidence of primary biliary cirrhosis,

A dot-immunobinding assay for antimitochondrial antibodies [PDF]
A dot-immunobinding assay was established for the detection of antimitochondrial antibodies. Nitrocellulose strips were coated with sonicated rat liver mitochondria and incubated in the presence of human sera. The resulting immune complexes were visualized with an enzyme-linked second antibody.
