Abstract Introduction Autoantibodies to the ribosomal P proteins represent a highly specific marker for the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus where they have been associated with certain clinical manifestations. Historically autoantibodies against ribosomal P proteins have been detected by indirect immunofluorescence immunodiffusion immunoblot and other immunoassays. More recently enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and line and addressable laser bead immunoassays have become more widely used. The primary goal of this study was to determine the sensitivity of indirect immunofluorescence using conventional HEp-2 substrates in the detection of sera with ribosomal P antibodies as detected by other immunoassays. Methods Anti-ribosomal P-positive sera n 345 as detected by an addressable laser bead immunoassay were .
