TY - JOUR AU - Ceribelli, Angela AU - Satoh, Minoru AU - Chan, Edward KL PY - 2012 DA - 2012/05/29 TI - A new immunoprecipitation-real time quantitative PCR assay for anti-Th/To and anti-U3RNP antibody detection in systemic sclerosis JO - Arthritis Research & Therapy SP - R128 VL - 14 IS - 3 AB - Classic anti-nucleolar antibodies anti-Th/To and U3 ribonucleoprotein (-U3RNP) can help in the diagnosis, prediction of organ involvement and prognosis in systemic sclerosis (SSc); however, no validated commercial assay is available. We aimed at establishing a novel quantitative real time PCR (qPCR) method to detect these antibodies. SN - 1478-6354 UR - https://doi.org/10.1186/ar3858 DO - 10.1186/ar3858 ID - Ceribelli2012 ER -
