[Investigation of the diagnostic value of anti-dense fine speckled 70/lens epithelium derived growth factor p75 autoantibody for autoimmune diseases].

Authors: Türkoğlu G, Berkem R, Karakoç AE Abstract Antinuclear antibodies (ANA) are the autoantibodies that are produced against nuclear antigens in the cell nucleus and/or cytoplasm, and are one of the important diagnostic criteria in systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases (SARD). Until today, several methods have been developed for detecting ANA's. However, indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) technique, that is also known as one of the oldest methods, is still the most commonly used one. Typically, anti-dense fine speckled 70/Lens epithelium derived growth factor p75 (anti-DFS70/LEDGF p75) autoantibody can be detected via IIF method where in HEp-2 (human larynx carcinoma) cells are used. The dense fine speckled (DFS) pattern method can be masked and remain unnoticed by the IIF m...
