'OBJECTIVE: To identify a Golgi complex autoantigen bound by Sjögren''s syndrome (SS) autoantibodies. METHODS: Serum from a patient with secondary SS and anti-Golgi antibodies was used as a probe to isolate a complementary DNA (cDNA) insert from a HeLa cDNA library. RESULTS: A 3.7-kb cDNA encoding a 56-kd recombinant protein ... More
