hearing loss?
And does anyone have useful advice for management and assessment of benefit
other than frequent hearing tests?
Dear colleagues,
Can I ask who is offering testing for SSc associated Abs? Particularly interested in the Th/To (we do RNAPIII by ELISA, and Ku is on the muscle LIA).
A bit embarrassing that we don't already do these, but the validation process is a little tricky (and only a few antigens aren't on other EIA/LIA).
Thanks,
Theo
Sometimes rhetorical questions come across as conclusions.
This paper only deals with particular entities that had been claimed by another group to have anti-LAMP-2 who also claimed they were pathogenic and had a molecular mimic.
All I am saying is that the paper you cite should not be taken to dismiss that anti-LAMP-2 have other clinical associations or that they don't exist.

Careful on what you conclude is debunked...have a careful look at the conclusion.

Dear All,
A request from one of our renal physicians really. Does anyone know of available testing for antibodies to LAMP (LAMP-2, I presume)?

Is anyone aware of the availability of assays for autoantibodies to FceR1a or IgE?
