Abstract:
:In this study we determined the prevalence of autoantibodies against casein kinase II (CKII) in patients positive for anti-70K marker antibodies, which is indicative of mixed connective tissue disease. An anti-CKII ELISA was established with the use of bacterially expressed recombinant CKII proteins. Eight out of 52 anti-70K-positive sera (15%) were positive for anti-CKII antibodies, which recognized preferentially the CKII alpha subunit. All control sera (n = 52) were anti-CKII negative. Thus, the occurrence of anti-CKII antibodies may be of value for differential diagnosis.
