Abstract:
We describe the immunologic findings in a patient with the antisynthetase syndrome characterized by prominent arthritis, lung fibrosis, and subclinical myositis. At disease onset and during the followup, this patient's serum showed 2 different subsets of antisynthetase autoantibodies: anti-Jo-1, which reacted with histidyl-transfer RNA (tRNA) synthetase by immunoblot and inhibited its enzymatic function; and anti-0J, which immunoprecipitated the multi-enzyme complex of synthetases, and reacted with lysyl-tRNA synthetase by immunoblot. This is the first report of anti-Jo-1 and another antisynthetase antibody being found together in the same patient.
