Autoantibodies to intracellular “rods and rings” structures in two patients with autoimmune hepatitis treated with azathioprine

In vitro, inhibition of the synthesis of guanosine monophosphate (GMP) by various drugs such as ribavirin, acyclovir, azathioprine, and mycophenolic acid leads to the formation of subcellular structures in cultured cells. Autoantibodies targeting these cellular structures can be detected as “rods an...
