Dermatomyositis typical autoantibody①anti aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases(ARS) antibody
anti Jo-1 antibody(→antibody targetting synthetase which combines histidine and t RNA)
②anti MDA-5 antibody
positive in 20〜30% of DM
positive→50% are associated with negative→rarely associated with
rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease(RP-ILD)
③anti Mi-2 antibody
④anti transcriptional intermediary factor-1(TIF-1) antibody
positive in 20% of DM
50%〜75% of the individuals are associated with malignant tumor rheumatology May 9, 2019, 11:02 AM HirotoShishido
