Abstract | OBJECTIVE: METHODS: RESULTS: Antibody activity against GST-L14 was detected in 7 out of 126 SLE, but not in any of the DM/PM, PSS, or healthy controls. CONCLUSION: Antibody against ribosomal protein L14 was specifically detected in sera from patients with SLE. Although this antibody activity was not so prevalent in the patients with SLE, it might be one of the useful tools for diagnosis of SLE.
