Guest guest Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Here's a free PDF of a 1997 paper out of Scripps that found low-titer anti-nuclear antibodies (and possibly other autoantibodies) in one half of CFS cases. The titers are a lot lower than the typical autoantibody titers of lupus, etc. http://www.jci.org/articles/view/118990/pdf The abstract of a 2007 Japanese language article (17561698) refers to the work " One group in the USA reported that 'nuclear envelope staining pattern' was found in more than 50% of the patients with CFS. This results, however, have not been confirmed by any other research groups. " ....possibly referring also to this negative autoantibody study: 12165094 . Another positive finding on this topic is 11477286; free text of which is found at http://rheumatology.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/full/40/7/806.
