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.
