Clinical features of patients with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies targeting native myeloperoxidase antigen.
2013
Objectives
Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies (ANCA) are useful diagnostic markers in systemic vasculitic disorders with small-vessel involvement, but depending on the particular test used, the myeloperoxidase (MPO)-ANCA results are variable. In the present study, we performed a comparative analysis between our originally developed nMPO-ANCA assay that targets the native MPO antigen and other commercially available assays using sera of patients with clinical features of ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV).
