abstract：:Autoantibodies to phospholipids other than cardiolipin have received less attention, to date, than anti-cardiolipin antibodies. This review focuses on these antibodies and potential roles for both phospholipid and protein in their reactivity. We review data in the literature indicating that antibodies to phosphatidyle...
