Clinical Significance
Recently, patients with IBD have been shown to have antibodies in serum that help to distinguish between CD and UC.(1) Patients with UC often have measurable neutrophil specific antibodies (NSA), which react with as yet uncharacterized target antigens in human neutrophils; whereas, patients with CD often have measurable antibodies of the IgA and/or IgG isotypes, which react with cell wall mannan of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain Su 1
