title: Antibodies to antinuclear subsets in systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis.
abstract: In this study, technical, clinical and genetic aspects of anti-Ro/SSA, anti-Sm, and anti-RNP are discussed; different techniques may reveal differences in autoantibody frequencies and associations. Finally, the importance of anti-RA33, a new autoantibody characteristic of rheumatoid arthritis, is evidenced.
