Anticytokine autoantibodies are associated with distinct patterns of disease in SLE, SS, and RA. Anti-interferon autoantibodies are overrepresented in patients with SLE and those with SS, and fall into distinct functional classes, with only a subset of anti-type I interferon antibodies exhibiting neutralizing activity. Anti-interferon-γ autoantibodies are correlated with increased disease activity and interferon-related gene expression, suggesting that such autoantibodies may contribute to the pathogenesis of SLE.
