| 21. | The ANA test detects the autoantibodies present in an individual's blood serum.
|
| 22. | This is the highest dilution of the serum at which autoantibodies are still detectable.
|
| 23. | There are two models for this : the hapten model and the autoantibody model.
|
| 24. | AIHA cannot be attributed to any single autoantibody.
|
| 25. | Immunoglobulin derangements including hypergammaglobulinemia, autoantibodies, and circulating immune complexes are commonly seen.
|
| 26. | Autoantibodies from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus frequently recognize epitopes on the encoded protein.
|
| 27. | The autoantibodies disrupt the adhesion between epithelial cells.
|
| 28. | Immunodermatology methods reveal normal autoantibodies that react in psoriatic scales and relevant cellular responses.
|
| 29. | Adrenergic autoantibodies have been linked to Buerger's disease ( thromboangiitis obliterans ).
|
| 30. | The role of autoantibodies in normal immune function is also a subject of scientific research.
