AC-14 - CENP-F-like
Relevâncias Clínicas - Primeiro nível
The majority of sera exhibiting the AC-14 pattern are from patients with a diversity of neoplastic conditions (breast, lung, colon, lymphoma, ovary, brain); paradoxically, the frequency of the AC-14 pattern in patient cohorts with these malignancies is low. The AC-14 pattern is also seen in inflammatory conditions (Crohn’s disease, autoimmune liver disease, SjS, graft-versus-host disease); current information on clinical associations is based mainly on case reports and series of cases.
Possible associations only hold if the reactivity to CENP-F is confirmed in an antigen-specific immunoassay; current information on clinical associations is based mainly on case reports and series of cases; specific immunoassays for this autoantibody are currently not commercially available.
