The occurrence of antibody patterns in connective tissue diseases has been recognized for thirty years, but the generation of multiple antibody results relied on, time-consuming immunodiffusion or electrophoretic techniques. Today it is possible to study the antibody repertoire using rapid multi-analyte technologies, generally referred to as protein arrays. These arrays may use planar surfaces similar to DNA arrays, or use microspheres in suspension (liquid arrays). Also, many high quality autoantigens are now commercially available, including recombinant antigens. The vast amount of information that can be generated by measuring multiple antibodies for multiple patients has created demand for data processing. Software programs to aid physicians in reviewing multiple inputs as an aid to disease diagnosis and classification have been available for twenty years. Initial work used the expert systems approach; more recently pattern recognition has been widely evaluated because of the improvements in software programs and computational speed. The use of antibody data, generated in protein arrays, may assist in establishing diagnosis, in identifying potentially significant antibody patterns in advance of clinical symptoms, and in classifying. patients based on expected disease progression.
