Interpretive Data

SP100 IgG antibodies can be detected in patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and may be of diagnostic relevance in a subset of patients with PBC who are negative for anti-mitochondrial antibodies (AMA). These antibodies have a relatively low sensitivity with excellent specificity for PBC. A negative result does not rule out PBC.
