| Abstract : Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is characterized by the presence of high-titer disease specific autoantibodies directed against mitochondrial antigens (AMA) of the inner mitochondrial membrane, that are members of the 2-oxo acid complex. Among numerous other autoantibodies found in PBC the focus of ongoing studies is on the PBC-specific anti-nuclear antibodies, that are of diagnostic and clinical relevance since they can be used as a 'positive tool' in the diagnosis of AMA-negative PBC while at the same time identifying a subgroup of patients with more advanced liver disease. |
