New genetically engineered DFS70 knock-out HEp-2 cells enable rapid and specific recognition of anti-DFS70 antibodies

Background: The correct identification of anti-dense fine speckled-70 (DFS70) antibodies represents an important issue in the detection of anti-nuclear antibodies (ANAs) as performed by the indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) test on HEp-2 substrates. In this study, we have evaluated a new method for...
