ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a Ge protein having an apparent molecular weight of 170 kilodaltons when derived from HeLa cells. The Ge protein is a nuclear autoantigen that may be used to detect autoimmune disorders, such as Sjogren's syndrome, which is characterized by the presence of antinuclear antibodies binding to the Ge protein.
