Figure 1
Antinuclear antibodies in different patient cohorts. (a) 27 positive systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patient sera titered at 1 : 40 through 1 : 2560. (b) Thirteen positive Sjögren’s syndrome (SjS) patient sera titered at 1 : 40 through 1 : 1280. (c) 26 positive scleroderma patient sera titered at 1 : 40 through 1 : 2560. The gray bar represents the end point titer read on the NOVA View archived image. The black bar represents the titer read on a traditional manual microscope. All titers were read by the same technologist.
