TL;DR: The 1971 preliminary criteria for the classification of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) were revised and updated to incorporate new immunologic knowledge and improve disease classification and showed gains in sensitivity and specificity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mixed connective tissue disease-an apparently distinct rheumatic disease syndrome associated with a specific antibody to an extractable nuclear antigen (ENA)
TL;DR: The detection of antibody to ENA with a well defined specificity allows recognition of an apparently distinct mixed connective tissue disease syndrome which is characterized by an excellent response to corticosteroid therapy and a favorable prognosis.
Book ChapterDOI
Antinuclear antibodies: diagnostic markers for autoimmune diseases and probes for cell biology
TL;DR: One of the purposes of this chapter is to show that the new molecular biology of cellular antigens and auto-antibodies could now be providing insights into comprehending some features of autoimmunity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characteristics of an immune system common to certain external secretions
TL;DR: The γ1A present in saliva and colostrum exists largely in the form of higher polymers, the major component of which has a sedimentation coefficient of 11S, and its properties including the local production of a distinctive type of antibody separate it from the "systemic" system responsible for the production of circulating antibody.
Book ChapterDOI
Autoantibodies to nuclear antigens (ANA): their immunobiology and medicine.
TL;DR: Autoantibodies to nuclear antigens (ANAs) have assumed an important place in the diagnostic armamentarium of the clinician because of distinct profiles of ANAs in different diseases.
