Background
Anti-EC antibodies (AECAs) may be pathogenic in vasculitides. Among a wide range of autoAg, they may recognise ATP synthase, a proton transport molecule regulating intracellular pH (pHi) expressed on the surface of ECs. The aim of the current study was to evaluate ATP synthase antigenicity in vasculitides, and anti-ATP …
