2. Autoantigenic properties of the U1-70K protein
Abstract : Patients with the autoimmune diseases systemic lupus erythematosus and mixed connective tissue disease produce autoantibodies directed towards specific groups of cellular constituents in their own body. Two of the targeted antigens are denoted Sm and RNP, and consist of distinct collections of splicing associated RNA-protein complexes. READ MORE
