ABSTRACT:
Recombinant Histidyl tRNA synthetase produced by non-mammalian host cells is used in a sensitive assay to determine the presence of autoimmune diseases in mammals. Methods for isolating, cloning and expressing rHRS are described. In addition, a kit for determining the presence of an autoimmune disease is provided.
