New autoantibodies and autoantigens in autoimmune hepatitis

Clin Liver Dis. 2002 Aug;6(3):785-97. doi: 10.1016/s1089-3261(02)00027-2.

Abstract

The molecular characterization of the autoreactivities associated with autoimmune liver disease will improve their diagnosis and enhance understanding of their pathogenic mechanisms. Surprisingly, little is known about the nature of the major autoreactivities associated with type 1 AIH, including homogeneous ANA and antibodies to microfilaments [3]. Type 1 AIH is, however, the prototype of autoimmune liver disease [103].
