Anti-synthetase syndrome: a new autoantibody to phenylalanyl transfer RNA synthetase (anti-Zo) associated with polymyositis and interstitial pneumonia

Abstract

We report the identification of previously uncharacterized autoantibodies to phenylalanyl tRNA synthetase, entitled anti-Zo. This is the eighth anti-synthetase autoantibody in a patient with anti-synthetase syndrome.
