Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is a chronic, progressive cholestatic disease of unknown etiology characterized by serum antimitochondrial antibodies (AMA) directed against a functionally related family of mitochondrial enzymes. We recently suggested that N. aromaticivorans might be the trigger of autoimmunity in PBC. No data are available on the specificity and crossreactivity of AMA in a genetically...
