- Background
- Anti-nuclear antibodies remain prevalent in a large group of autoimmune disorders. The accumulation of anti-nuclear antibodies is characteristic of lupus erythematosus, as well as various other auto-immune diseases such as Sjögren's syndrome, autoimmune hepatitis, dermatomyositis, rheumatoid arthritis, and scleroderma. Ribonucleoproteins (RNP) represent a 20-80nm electron dense nuclear structure, with highest labeling densities found in nuclear ribonucleoprotein (nRNP) particles. One of the main components of the nucleolus, RNPs are comprised of ribonucleic acid (RNA) and protein together, representing an RNA binding motif in an RNA binding protein. Aromatic amino acid residues occupying this RNP motif, create stacking interactions with RNA. Lysine residues expressed exclusively in the helical portion of RNA binding proteins stabilizes relationships with nucleic acids. The ability to quantitate and identify dividing cells facilitates immunopathologic studies on tissues from which prognostic information can be derived for disease states such as cancer.
