Since the antigenicity of the protein is common across species, proteins derived from any mammal can be used as antigens for detecting antibodies against self components found in the serum of patients with autoimmune diseases, that is, autoantibodies. Anti-ribonucleoprotein antibodies and anti-Smith antibodies are anti-ribonucleoprotein antibodies and anti-Smith antibodies are anti-nuclear RNA-binding proteins, and anti-S S A /
The Ro antibody group and the anti-SSB/La antibody group are widely known, and the detection of these antibody groups is carried out by contrasting the reaction pattern between the conventionally controlled reference serum and the crude antigen solution described above. For example, antigens are detected simply by the fusion phenomenon of appearing sedimentation lines by binary immunodiffusion method or by interpretation of stained images of cultured cells by fluorescent antibody method, and there is no need for the antigen to be purified or pickled6. As the properties and functions of antigens for these antibody groups have been clarified through molecular biology and protein chemistry, it has become necessary to establish sensitive and quantitative clinical testing methods that use purified antigens as detection reagents.
