Immunofluorescence patterns from patients with IMNMs with anti-SRP and anti-HMGCR antibodies on HEp-2 ANA slides (EUROIMMUN, Lübeck, Germany) and rat liver and stomach slides (DiaSorin, Italy), compared to AMA-M2 antibodies. a Anti-SRP cytoplasmic dense fine speckled pattern on HEp-2, b chief cells on stomach and c fine granular liver staining; d AMA-M2 cytoplasmic reticular on HEp-2, e granular staining of parietal stomach cells and f diffused fluorescence of hepatocytes; g Anti-HMGCR faint cytoplasmic fluorescence on few numbers of HEp-2 cells, h negative stomach and i fine cytoplasmic fluorescence of scattered hepatocytes around the biliary ducts
