Anti-actin antibodies
From Wikipedia,
the free encyclopedia
Anti-actin antibodies are found at
increased frequency in certain autoimmune diseases and may be of some
diagnostic value.
In coeliac disease anti-actin antibodies correlated with the level of
intestinal damage. [1][2]
In autoimmune hepatitis anti-actin antibodies correlate with patterns of
immune recognition[3], the pattern of recognition was specific to a small
percentage of auto-immune hepatitis type 1 or cryptogenic hepatitis
patients.[4]
in gastric cancer anti-actin antibodies were elevated, along with other
antibodies in severe disease with poor outcomes.[5] |
