BTG3 and autoimmune hepatitis: Antibodies to a cytosolic soluble liver antigen (SLA), detected originally by an inhibition ELISA using cytosolic liver fractions in a sub-group of patients with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) negative for other autoantibodies, have recently been also reported in adult patients with anti-nuclear and/or smooth muscle antibody (ANA/SMA) positive type 1 AIH and in seronegative patients with a form of cryptogenic hepatitis resembling type 1 AIH [1-6].
