Overview:
Detect antibodies associated with SLE and mixed connective tissue disease. Anti-Sm is highly specific for SLE. Anti-RNP is found with a variety of rheumatoid diseases with high titers associated mainly with MCTD.
Antibodies that produce a speckled ANA pattern are usually directed against extractable nucleoprotein complexes found in the nucleus and/or cytoplasm of substrate cells. Included in this group of antigens are RNP, Sm, SS-A, SS-B, Scl-70, and Jo-1.
