[Antinuclear antibodies: the classical and the new]
Abstract
A brief overview is presented of the different antinuclear autoantibodies most frequently mentioned in the literature at the present time. The relationship between these autoantibodies and collagen diseases is described in terms of their usefulness in diagnosis and follow-up. Lupus anticoagulant is also mentioned in view of its possible relationship with anti-DNA autoantibodies.
