Occurrence and Antigenic Specificity of Perinuclear Anti-Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies (P-ANCA) in Systemic Autoimmune Diseases

Perinuclear anti-neutrophilic cytoplasmic antibodies (P-ANCA) recognize heterogeneous antigens, including myeloperoxidase (MPO), lactoferrin, elastase, cathepsin-G and bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein.
