Precaution of Use
- Source material supplied to your facility has been tested for the detection of HIV antibody, Hepatitis B surface antigen, antibody to Hepatitis C, HIV 1 antigen(s), antibody to HTLV - I/II, and syphilis with FDA approved test kits. All units were found to be non- reactive/negative for these tests. Nevertheless, all products from human sources should be handled as potentially infectious.

Background
- The sm (Smith) is an autoantigen on a series of particles composed of RNA and protein. Unlike RNP, the sm antigen is resistant to RNase, but partially sensitive to trypsin. It is involved in the pathogenesis of Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Antibodies to sm are found in 20-30 % of patients with SLE. This antibody recognizes cross-reactive epitopes on the B'/B and D polypeptides of Sm. It precipitates the small nuclear RNAs U1, U2, U4, U5, and U6 providing direct evidence that the Sm antigen resides on all these RNA-protein complexes.Synonyms: Human Autoantigens
