Controls included 290 patients with other connective tissue diseases, interstitial lung disease alone, or autoimmune hepatitis, and 50 healthy subjects. Autoantibody specificities were analyzed using RNA and protein immunoprecipitation assays. Autoimmune targets were affinity purified using patients' sera and subjected to liquid chromatography mass spectrometry. SSc patients in another institution in Japan and the University of Pittsburgh cohort were also included in analysis for evaluating clinical correlations.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>By protein immunoprecipitation assay, 6 SSc sera (1.9%) reacted with doublets with molecular weights of \u223c50 kd. Liquid chromatography mass spectrometry of the partially purified autoantigen and additional immunoblot\u2010based analyses revealed that this antibody specificity recognized RuvBL1\/2. Anti\u2010RuvBL1\/2 antibody was exclusively detected in SSc patients. SSc patients with anti\u2010RuvBL1\/2 in both the Japanese and Pittsburgh cohorts consistently had higher frequencies of SSc in overlap with myositis and diffuse skin thickening than those without anti\u2010RuvBL1\/2. Compared with other autoantibodies related to SSc\/myositis overlap (anti\u2013PM\u2010Scl and anti\u2010Ku), anti\u2010RuvBL1\/2 was distinctive in terms of its associations with older age at SSc
