The present invention relates to methods and compositions for use in the diagnosis, assessment and treatment of patients with suspected autoimmune disorders. In particular, the present invention provides an auto-antibody assessment system that combines a multiplex bead array using purified antigens with human cells. When analysis is performed with the system using means such as flow cytometry, this mixture can provide a more comprehensive auto-antigen profile for assessing disease states in autoimmune disorders. |
