The sm (Smith) is an autoantigen on a series of particles composed of RNA and protein.
Unlike RNP, the sm antigen is resistant to RNase, but partially sensitive to trypsin.
It is involved in the pathogenesis of Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
Antibodies to sm are found in 20-30% of patients with SLE.
Applications:Suitable for use in ELISA and Immunodiffusion.
Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:ELISA: 1:100Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Titer:Immunodiffusion: 1:2
Other Autoantibody Activity in the Serum:The serum exhibits no reactivity at a dilution of 1:100 when tested against purified SSA, SSB, SCL, Jo-1, mitochondrial or ribosomal antigens in an ELISA system designed to detect IgG antibody subclasses.
