| Abstract | BACKGROUND: We investigated the interactions between spontaneous apoptosis-induced neutrophils and autoantibodies with attention to the reactivities of each autoantibody against intracellular antigenssuch as the antinuclear antibody (ANA) and the anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) and the applicability as a conventional test for autoantibody detection. METHODS: The 127 serum samples from patients with autoimmune disease were mixed with whole blood from healthy donors and incubated for 20 hours. The bound antibody against substrate neutrophils was detected with anti-IgG-FITC by flow cytometry. The results of this anti-long incubated neutrophil antibody (ALINA) testing were compared with ANA, ANCA and clinical manifestations. RESULTS: The positivity rate was significantly higher in the 20 hour incubation than that of a 30 minute incubation (100% and 18%, respectively; P<0.000005). Agreement analyses between ANCA and ALINA (k=0.34) and between ANA and ALINA (k=0.39) were poor. In comparison, among the autoimmune diseases, systemic lupus erythematosus had a significantly higher ALINA positivity rate than did other diseases (P<0.000005). In patients with SLE, higher mean fluorescence intensity was significantly associated with the presence of lupus nephritis (11/12 cases vs. 2/10 cases, P<0.005). CONCLUSIONS: We detected antibodies against neutrophil antigens expressed by long incubation with patient sera. Those detected autoantibodies were significantly associated with SLE, especially lupus nephritis. Therefore, further studies are necessary to devise optimal protocols and to clarify specificities for detected autoantibodies or their target antigens. |

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.
