Autoantibodies to lamins A and C in sera of patients showing peripheral fluorescent antinuclear antibody pattern on HEP-2 cells.

Lamins A, B, and C are the major proteins of a polymeric structure called nuclear lamina, which is intercalated between chromatin and the inner membrane of the nuclear envelope. Using immunofluorescence on HEp-2 cells, specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and Western blotting performed against nuclear lamina preparation from Ehrlich ascites tumor cells, we characterized three patients, whose sera contained antibodies to nuclear lamins. The reaction pattern observed in two of the patients may result from single or combined occurrence of anti-lamin A and C antibodies. The third patient had antibodies that probably recognized an epitope in the carboxy-terminal region of lamin C. The sera were donated by a heterogeneous group of patients, and no common clinical or laboratory signs seemed to link them together.[1]
