    Abstract Background: Screening for antinuclear antibodies (ANA) by indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) on HEp-2 cells is helpful for the diagnosis and classification of ANA-associated rheumatic diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjögren syndrome, mixed connective tissue disease, systemic sclerosis, and inflammatory myopathies. The dense fine speckled (DFS) pattern is a special HEp-2 IIF pattern (produced by anti-DFS70 antibodies) because it is not associated with a specific medical condition and therefore can obfuscate interpretation.
    Content: In this paper, detection methods for and clinical associations of anti-DFS70 antibodies are reviewed.
    Summary: The target antigen of the antibodies that cause the DFS pattern is a 70 kDa protein (DFS70). Commercial methods that detect antibodies to full-length or truncated DFS70 are available for use in clinical laboratories (ELISA, chemiluminescence, dot/line blot). Anti-DFS70 can be found in (apparently) healthy individuals (with a higher frequency in young individuals and in females), in several (inflammatory) conditions and in malignancy. There is no clinical association that is well-established. Special attention (and critical reflection) is given to the observation that monospecific anti-DFS70 (i.e., in the absence of antibodies that are linked to ANA-associated rheumatic diseases) is rarely found in ANA-associated rheumatic diseases.

    Abstract Autoantibodies are important laboratory markers to support diagnosis of autoimmune diseases. Interpretation of autoantibodies is classically done in a dichotomous way (positive versus negative). Yet, interpretation of autoantibody test results can be improved by reporting likelihood ratios. Likelihood ratios convey information on how much more/less likely a test result is in individuals with the disease compared to individuals without the disease. It incorporates information on the antibody level (the higher the antibody level, the higher the association with the disease), which is helpful for (differential) diagnosis. Likelihood ratios are unit-independent and allow users to harmonize test result interpretation. When the likelihood ratio is combined with information on the pre-test probability, post-test probability can be appraised. In this review, the applicability of likelihood ratio in autoimmune diagnostics will be reviewed from the perspective of the clinician, the laboratory professional and the in vitro diagnostic industry.

    Abstract Classification criteria have been developed for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and other rheumatic diseases in order to gather a homogeneous patient population for clinical studies and facilitate the timely implementation of therapeutic measures. Although classification criteria are not intended to be used for diagnosis, they are frequently used to support the diagnostic process in clinical practice, including clinical decision-making. The 2010 American College of Rheumatology (ACR)/European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR) classification criteria for RA are capable of identifying the majority of symptomatic patients with RA already in the earliest stages of the disease who are not yet showing radiographic changes. These patients will also profit from the early implementation of therapy with disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs). However, the risk of misclassification is higher as compared with the former 1987 ACR criteria, which were considerably less sensitive to the recognition of patients with early RA. Of note, the presence of rheumatoid factors (RFs) and anticitrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs) has been attributed equal weight in the 2010 ACR/EULAR criteria and may contribute up to 50% of the score needed for being classified as RA. However, while ACPAs have been proven to be the most specific serological markers of RA, the specificity of RF is moderate, especially at lower titres. This may lead to the misclassification of RF-positive patients and, consequently, the unjustified implementation of DMARD therapy. Therefore, issues arise on how comprehensive the criteria should be and whether they should be updated and adapted to findings from the past two decades that might increase both their specificity and sensitivity.
