"[Increasing evidence, including the specific association of AMA with PBC, the unique similar but noncross-reactive conformational epitope of the lipoyl domains of the mitochondrial autoantigens, the specific binding of anti-PDC-E2 monoclonal antibodies and human combinatorial antibodies derived from PBC patients to the apical area of bile duct epithelial cells in PBC livers, and Ig gene usage of AMA, suggests that AMA is not an epiphenomenon of the disease but plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of PBC.].
