A study on the value of antimitochondrial antibody (AMA) and its subtypes anti-M2, anti-M4, and anti-M9 in diagnosing primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC).
Antimitochondrial antibody was detected by indirect immunofluorescence and anti-M2, anti-M4 and anti-M9 by Western blotting. AMA and anti-M2 of 78 PBC patients, of 35 non-PBC hepato-biliary disease patients and 20 healthy controls were studied and anti-M2, anti-M4 and anti-M9 were studied in 30 of the 78 PBC patients.
96.2% (75/78) of PBC patients were AMA positive and 94.9% (74/78) of PBC patients were anti-M2 positive. Only three among the 35 non-PBC patients were positive for AMA (one with very low titre). None of the 35 non-PBC patients was anti-M2 positive. AMA and anti-M2 were negative in all the healthy controls. Among the 30 anti-M2 positive patients, 16 patients were anti-M4 positive (16/30, 53.3%) and 4 patients were anti-M9 positive (4/30, 13.3%).
AMA and its subtypes (special anti-M2) are important sero-immunological markers for the diagnosis of PBC.
研究抗线粒体抗体(AMA)及其亚型抗-M2、抗-M4和抗-M9在原发性胆汁性肝硬化(PBC)诊断中的价值。
采用间接免疫荧光法检测抗线粒体抗体,采用蛋白质印迹法检测抗-M2、抗-M4和抗-M9。对78例PBC患者、35例非PBC肝胆疾病患者和20例健康对照者进行AMA和抗-M2检测,并对78例PBC患者中的30例进行抗-M2、抗-M4和抗-M9检测。
PBC患者中96.2%(75/78)AMA阳性,94.9%(74/78)抗-M2阳性。35例非PBC患者中仅3例AMA阳性(1例滴度极低)。35例非PBC患者中无抗-M2阳性。所有健康对照者的AMA和抗-M2均为阴性。在30例抗-M2阳性患者中,16例抗-M4阳性(16/30,53.3%),4例抗-M9阳性(4/30,13.3%)。
AMA及其亚型(特别是抗-M2)是诊断PBC的重要血清免疫学标志物。
