Anticentromere antibody-positive primary Sjögren's syndrome: Epitope analysis of a subset of anticentromere antibody-positive patients
10 May 2016
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Anticentromere antibody (ACA) is generally considered to be a serological marker for systemic sclerosis (SSc). ACA-positive patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) have also been reported. ACA often recognizes centromere proteins (CENPs): CENP-A, CENP-B, and CENP-C, and sometimes reacts to heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1)α. We compared the reactivity against six different epitopes for three...
