Anti-nuclear staining patterns by ANA of different isotypes in saliva of SLE patients. Salivary ANA isotypes, including IgM-ANA, IgA-ANA, and IgG-ANA from saliva of 3 SLE patients and 1 ANA+ve healthy control stained nuclei with different patterns, with some overlap between the staining patterns between the isotypes, as determined by IF.
