Matsushita M et al. – Anti-PA28alpha antibodies in patients with SLE and SS, and the cellular distributions of PA28alpha and Ki suggest these proteins are associated with different cellular functions
Methods- Sera from 46 SLE patients without SS, 11 SLE patients with SS, and 45 primary SS patients were tested
- PA28alpha antibodies reacted with the cytoplasm of HEp-2 cells, whereas purified anti-Ki antibodies reacted with nucleoplasm
- Among the 15 SLE patients without SS, the six SLE patients with SS and the 30 primary SS patients who were anti-cytoplasmic-antibody positive, anti-SS-A/Ro antibodies were the most frequently detected (53%, 67%, and 70%, respectively)
- Anti-PA28alpha antibodies were detected in 33%, 50%, and 40%, respectively
