Antibodies to vesicular stomatitis virus proteins in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and in normal subjects.
Presence of anti-La(SS-B) is associated with binding to the 13-kD carboxyl terminus of 60-kD Ro(SS-A) in systemic lupus erythematosus.
A common autoepitope near the carboxyl terminus of the 60-kD Ro ribonucleoprotein: sequence similarity with a viral protein.
Autoantigenicity of Ro/SSA antigen is related to a nucleocapsid protein of vesicular stomatitis virus.
