| Abstract | BACKGROUND: Cytoplasmic stainings in antinuclear antibody tests using HEp-2 cells are usually undetermined and the significance has not been fully understood until now. Hence, we evaluated their clinical characteristics and also the coexistence of other autoantibodies in the sera with cytoplasmic stainings in antinuclear antibody tests. METHODS: We reviewed clinical records retrospectively in 53 sera showing cytoplasmic stainings among 3, 610 sera that were tested antinuclear antibodies from January to September, 2002 and performed antimitochondrial antibodies (AMA) tests using indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) and antibodies to antiribosomal P and extractable nuclear antigens (ENA) tests using enzyme immunoassay (EIA). RESULTS: Among 53 sera with cytoplasmic stainings, 31 sera showed an AMA pattern and 15 sera showed an antibody to ribosomal P pattern. Three cytoskeletal and one golgi complex patterns were also observed. The most common diagnosis was autoimmune disorders (32, 60.4%) and hepatic disorders (excluding autoimmune hepatitis) (6, 11.3%). Hepatic disorders including autoimmune, drug-induced, and alcoholic hepatitis were most commonly observed (32.3%) in sera with an AMA pattern. On the other hand, various autoimmune disorders such as SLE, systemic sclerosis, dermatomyositis, and polymyositis were observed (86.7%) in sera with a ribosomal P pattern. Of 31 sera with the AMA pattern, the corresponding antibodies were confirmed in three by IIF and of 15 sera with a ribosomal P pattern, only one was confirmed to have this antibody by EIA. All the confirmed sera showed high titered (>1: 320) cytoplasmic stainings. Antibodies to ENA were positive in sixteen (RnP, 5; Sm, 4; Ro, 5; La, 2) and anti-DNA in three of the sera. CONCLUSIONS: Although cytoplasmic staining patterns are not disease specific, it is suggested that continuous high titer stainings be followed up since they could provide diagnostic help. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
