Targets of Antibodies to Soluble Liver Antigen in Patients with Autoimmune Hepatitis

Antibodies to a cytosolic soluble liver antigen (SLA), originally detected by an inhibition ELISA using cytosolic liver fractions and proposed as marker of a third type of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) negative for other autoantibodies, have been also reported in anti-nuclear and/or -smooth muscle antibody type 1 AIH, liver kidney microsomal-type 2 AIH, and autoimmune sclerosing cholangitis (1)(2)(3).
