autoantibody assays<br />

Tests for autoantibodies that can bind to self antigens<br />

include a broad spectrum of techniques such as agglutination<br />

(e.g., latex agglutination), indirect immunofluorescence,<br />

indirect immunoperoxidase, radioimmunoassay, ELISA,<br />

hemagglutination, bioassay, binding assay, and immobilization,<br />

among others.<br />

autoantigens<br />

Normal body constituents recognized by autoantibodies<br />

specific for them. T cell receptors may also identify<br />

autoantigens (self antigens) when the immune reactivity has<br />

induced a cell-mediated T lymphocyte response.<br />

autobody<br />

An antibody that exhibits the internal image of an antigen<br />

as well as a binding site for an antigen. It manifests dual<br />

binding to both idiotope and epitope. It bears an idiotope<br />

that is complementary to its own antigen-binding site or<br />

paratope. Thus, it has self-binding potential. This type of<br />
