Epitope analysis of anti-myeloperoxidase antibodies in patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis.

Epitope analysis of anti-myeloperoxidase antibodies in patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis.

OBJECTIVE: Increasing evidences have suggested the pathogenic role of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) directing myeloperoxidase (MPO) in ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV). The current study aimed to analyze the association between the linear epitopes of MPO-ANCA and clinicopathological...
