Abstract
Sera from patients with autoimmune diseases and healthy individuals were comparatively analyzed by Western blot, using total extract from HEp-2 cells as antigen. Bands between 14 and 20 kDa were present in 99% of patients with autoimmune diseases and symptomatic seronegative patients, in contrast to only 4% of healthy controls. No bands were detected in the remaining 96% of healthy controls. We propose these antigens as pathologically important for the diagnostic screening of patients with suspected autoimmune disease.
