We developed a novel ICT with high clinical performance that can distinguish APAP patients from those with other pulmonary diseases. The rapid and simple detection of GMAbs in serum provided a new practical method for the diagnosis of APAP. ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Anti‐GM‐CSF autoantibodies (GMAbs) are essential biomarkers for diagnosing ...
