Serum factors which activated the alternative pathway of complement were detected in 10 of 26 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), three of 18 patients with mixed connective tissue disease, one patient with scleroderma, and one with Sjögren's syndrome. This activation was detected by
Ribosomal protein L7 has been established recently as a novel autoantigen representing a frequent target for autoantibodies from patients with systemic autoimmune diseases. Up to 75% of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients and 50% of mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) and progressive
Autoantibodies directed against the 68-kDa (U1) ribonucleoprotein antigen are mainly found in sera of patients with mixed connective tissue disease. The corresponding cDNA was fragmented into four regions coding for the major antigenic epitopes A', B', C' and D'. All the epitopes were subcloned and
