Diagnostic and clinical utility of antibodies against the nuclear body promyelocytic leukaemia and Sp100 antigens in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis
(2012)
Background: The lack of an immunoassay that detects antibodies to promyelocytic leukaemia (PML) protein, the primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC)-specific multiple nuclear dot (MND) antigen, has prompted us to develop a line ...
