Qualitative measurement of anti-PM/Scl antibodies in ELISA. ELISA units of anti-PM/Scl-100 and anti-PM/Scl-75 antibodies are shown for a total of 600 serum samples from patients with various diseases. The antibody units are calculated from relative luminescence units using a standard curve obtained from serial concentrations of serum samples: patient A’s serum for anti-PM/Scl-100 ELISA and patient E’s serum for anti-PM/Scl-75 ELISA. The broken line indicates the cutoff value, which is the mean value of 36 healthy controls + 5 standard deviations. DM, dermatomyositis; OL, overlap syndrome; PM, polymyositis; SLE, systemic lupus erythematosus; SS, Sjögren’s syndrome; SSc, systemic scleroderma; UCTD, undifferntiated connective tissue disease.
