Abstract
Anti-PL 4 is an autoantibody which binds to a 150 kDa polypeptide and is found in approximately 1% of SLE sera. The clinical and laboratory features of 16 patients who have had anti-PL 4 detected in their serum are presented. Anti-PL 4 is highly specific for SLE (100%) and identifies a population of patients who typically develop severe renal (75 %) and haematological disease (100%).
