Correlation between DFS and other IIF patterns and anti-DFS70 antibodies by ELISA and CIA.

*Positive and negative percent agreements were calculated based on the target cohort: For DFS70 CIA the target cohort is the group of samples with DFS pattern and the control cohort is the group of samples with other ANA patterns; for ANA ELISA the target cohort is the group of samples with other ANA patterns and the control cohort is the group of samples with DFS patterns.
