  • Detection of anti-Sm antibodies, IgG class

  • Intended for human serum and plasma
  • Native Sm antigen used

Sm is a small nuclear ribonucleoprotein composed of several protein autoantigens designated B, B1, D, E, F, and G, which range in size from 11 kD to 26 kD. Sm is a part of the U1-snRNP ribonucleoprotein complex, also known as Sm/RNP complex. Sm (Smith) antigen, the ribonucleoprotein nucleus is common to all snRNPs. Antibodies to Sm antigen and U1-snRNP specific proteins (RNP 68, RNP A, RNP C) are often found together.

Anti-Sm antibodies are highly specific for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). They are found in 20–30% of patients with SLE and represent an important tool in SLE serological diagnostics. Anti-Sm antibody levels remain relatively constant over time in patients with SLE and occur usually in patients who also have U1-snRNP antibodies.

Antigen Used: Native Sm antigen.
