Molecular Cloning of a Zinc Finger Autoantigen Transiently Associated with Interphase Nucleolus and Mitotic Centromeres and Midbodies
1 Dec 1999
Abstract excerpt
We have cloned a novel human autoimmune antigen in a patient suffering from rheumatoid arthritis with high levels of antibodies to the nucleolus organizer regions. Initially the human autoimmune serum was used to select a cDNA of 317 amino acids from a hamster expression library. Using the hamster DNA as a probe, we isolated the human homologous cDNA of 320 amino acids. Human and hamster polypeptides share a 95%...
