AUTOANTIBODIES IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF AUTOIMMUNE IMMUNOPATHOLOGICAL DISEASES
AUTOIMMUNE IMMUNOPATHOLOGICAL DISEASES * result of loss of autotolerance * inflammation * organ specific * organ non nespecific (systemic)
AUTOANTIBODIES: * the presence of autoantibodies is usually associated with immunopathology * intensity of damage is usually associated with the amount of autoantibodies * autoantibodies are usuallydirected to immunodominant epitopes
CAVE: * the are healthy persons with the presence of autoantibodies * the are personswithmanifested immunopathological disease, in whom expected autoantibodies are undetectable * low level of autoantibodies (IgM) could be associated with infection *crossreactivities
LABORATORY DETERMINATION OF AUTOANTIBODIES: Based on immunochemical detection by: * agglutination * precipitation: * ELISA * turbidimetry * immunobloting * immunofluorescence determination of autoantibodies is: * qualitative * quantitative: * titr * arbitrary units * concentration (standard)

IMMUNOFLUORESCENCE DETERMINATION OF AUTOANTIBODIES: detection of autoantibodies reacting with tissue (intracellular) antigens Using : * tissue cuts (organ-specific autoantibodies) * cell suspensions: * Hep-2 cell line (ANF) * granulocytes (ANCA)
IMMUNOFLUORESCENCE DETERMINATION OF ANTINUCLEAR AUTOANTIBODIES: ANTINUCLEAR AUTOANTIBODIES: *autoantibodies reacting with cell nuclear apparatus *present in patients with systemic disease of conective tissues *their level is associated with intensity of inflammation
