Anti-actin antibodies



  Anti-actin antibodies. Anti-actin antibodies are found at increased frequency in certain autoimmune diseases and may be of some diagnostic value.

In coeliac disease anti-actin antibodies correlated with the level of intestinal damage. [1][2]

In autoimmune hepatitis anti-actin antibodies correlate with patterns of immune recognition[3], the pattern of recognition was specific to a small percentage of auto-immune hepatitis type 1 or cryptogenic hepatitis patients.[4]

in gastric cancer anti-actin antibodies were elevated, along with other antibodies in severe disease with poor outcomes.[5]
