According to the kumar and clark 2006 edition "clinical medicine" the use of c and p ANCA is outdated. can anyone confirm/correct this?
[edit] Correct name
The correct name is Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody! See Kumar editions... NCurse work 09:12, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
- Most journal articles use anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody, or a variation on the theme... Autoantibody implies that the antibody is raised against self-antigens, but I don't feel the distiction is really too necessary! PMJ 21:02, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Redirects and the like
I personally (with my vested interest...) feel that ANCA should link to Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody and not ANCA Pty Ltd, the Australian company. I propose to move ANCA to ANCA (company), a per the manual of style, and update the disambiguation page - then redirect ANCA to Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody. PMJ 21:02, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Images
I'll try and get some photos of cytoplasmic and perinuclear staining. I know I've got some TGN and lamp pics somewhere... PMJ 21:37, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
