Abstract Immunofluorescent studies have revealed three antibodies associated with liver diseases:anti-nuclear antibod;y (A,N.A), anti-mitochondrial antibod;y (M.A.)and anti-smooth muscle antibody.(S.M.A,). As the pattern of chronic liver diseases in Egypt varies from that in western countries, our aim is to study the incidence of these tissue autoantibodies among Egyptians having chronic liver diseases (including hepatic Schistosomiasis)in a comparison with normal subjects, in order to clarify the role of autoimmunity in the patho genesis of these diseases. |
