Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Liver/kidney microsomal type 1 (LKM-1) antibodies described by indirect immunofluorescence using frozen sections of kidney, stomach and rat liver define a group of patients with type 2 autoimmune hepatitis. Sera react with a non-glycosylated 50-kD protein of the endoplasmic reticulum, which was recently identified as cytochrome P4502D6 (CYP2D6). LKM-1 antibodies may also be associated with...
