Indirect immunofluorescence assay graphs. (a) Antinuclear antibody (ANA) reciprocal titers using HEp-2 cells. The graphs show the mean and standard deviation (SD) and frequency of fluorescent patterns. And below is a graph showing the frequency of fluorescent patterns. On (b) different representative examples of ANA patterns: (A) nuclear speckled and cytoplasmic, (B) nuclear speckled, (C) nucleolar, (D) nuclear dots, (E) cytoplasmic, and (F) mitotic cells with staining of the nuclear mitotic apparatus.
