The Anti-Jo-1 Antibody Test in Pune detects autoantibodies directed against histidyl-tRNA synthetase, a protein involved in normal muscle cell function. Autoimmune myositis refers to inflammatory muscle diseases where the immune system attacks muscle tissue, leading to weakness and pain. Anti-Jo-1 antibodies are most commonly associated with polymyositis and antisynthetase syndrome in patients across Pune.
