Significance of Antibodies Against the Native Ribosomal P Protein Complex and Recombinant P0, P1, and P2 Proteins in the Diagnosis of Chinese Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Abstract

Based on these results, antibodies against ribosomal P proteins are important complementary parameters to anti-dsDNA and anti-Sm, and should be considered for inclusion in the classification criteria for SLE. The diagnostic value of anti-Rib-P0/P1/P2 is diagnostically superior to that of anti-Rib-P(C).
