Autoantibodies

Autoantibodies targeted against type I topoisomerase are called anti-Scl-70 antibodies, named by the association with scleroderma and the 70 kD extractable immunoreactive fragment that can be obtained from the otherwise larger (100-105 kD) target topoisomerase antigen (called the SCL-70 Antigen) of the antibodies.
