[Recent aspects of selected autoantibodies in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and their clinical relevance. II. Antibodies against histone, Sm, Ro and La]
Abstract
Antigen-antibody systems (antigens: histone, Sm, Ro, La) are described. Aspects of diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and monitoring in SLE are especially considered. Their relevance in view of SLE-subclassification is discussed. Antibodies directed against histone and Sm, and--with some restriction--against Ro/La also are valuable tools in immunological characterization of SLE. Antibodies against La have only in association with anti-Ro-antibodies prognostic importance.
