2023, European Journal of Internal MedicineCitation Excerpt :As a result, in cases of anti-LC1 coexistence with anti-LKM1 antibodies, IIF fails to detect them because anti-LKM1 stains the cytoplasm of hepatocytes in the entire liver lobule (Fig. 5B). Therefore, additional methods like immunodiffusion, ELISA or immunoblot are required [54–56]. The formiminotransferase cyclodeaminase, a liver enzyme involved in folate metabolism, has already been documented as the molecular target of anti-LC1 [57].

2013, Journal of AutoimmunityCitation Excerpt :It stains the cytoplasm of liver cells with relative sparing of the centrilobular area (Fig. 5), but is usually obscured by the concurrent presence of anti-LKM1 [2]. In the presence of anti-LKM1, anti-LC1 can be detected by the use of liver cytosol in double-dimension immunodiffusion, or counterimmunoelectrophoresis, and a positive reference serum [54]. In Western blot, anti-LC1 reacts with a 58–60 kDa protein when human liver cytosolic fraction is used as a substrate.
