چکیده
Anti-mitochondrial antibody (AMA) is a highly specific and sensitive test for primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC). It can also be detected as positive in connective tissue diseases, such as scleroderma, CREST, systemic lupus erythematosus, and Sjögren’s syndrome (1). In general, HEp-2 cells are analyzed with immunofluorescence microscopic and/or extractable nuclear antigen (ENA) tests in rat liver and kidney tissues.
