Jo-1 antigen is a histidyl-tRNA synthetase enzyme localized mainly in the cytoplasm. It is a member of the amino acyl-tRNA synthetase family of enzymes found in all nucleated cells. Anti-Jo-1 antibodies are highly specific for myositis. They are associated with polymyositis (20-40%). Less frequently, these antibodies are also found in dermatomyositis and myositis related to other connective tissue systemic diseases.
Anti-Jo-1 antibodies occur in up to 50% of patients with interstitial pulmonary fibrosis and symmetrical polyarthritis. More than 70% of patients positive for Jo-1 antibodies have interstitial lung disease. The anti-Jo-1 antibodies level corresponds with the disease activity.
The antisynthetase syndrome comprises presence of anti-Jo-1 antibodies, myositis, interstitial lung disease, rheumatoid arthritis, or Raynaud's phenomenon. The disease manifestation differs depending on the type of anti-synthetase antibody (most often anti-Jo-1 antibody).
Antigen Used: Recombinant Jo-1 antigen.
