Abstract
⺠We examined the presence of autoantibodies against ABCA1 in SLE patients. ⺠We investigated the role of this transporter in AS pathogenesis. ⺠The prevalence of anti-ABCA1 antibodies in SLE patients was higher than the controls. ⺠The prevalence in the SLE-plaque group was higher than that in the SLE-non-plaque group. ⺠Purified anti-ABCA1 IgG from positive sera inhibited the cellular cholesterol efflux in vitro.
