Abstract:Objectives
Autoantibodies against MDA5 serve as a biomarker for dermatomyositis (DM) and a risk factor for interstitial lung disease (ILD). MDA5 is a protein responsible for sensing RNA virus infection and activating signalling pathways against it. However, little is known about antigen epitopes on MDA5 autoantibodies. We aimed to determine the interaction of the MDA5 autoantibody-antigen epitope.
