Core Tip	In this study, indirect immunofluorescence staining was performed on paraffin-embedded human liver sections of various chronic liver diseases to demonstrate the presence of disease specific autoantibodies targeting sinusoidal cells in patient sera. Liver sections from normal and disease controls were used as the substrate, and sera were the source of primary antibodies. Our findings indicate that disease specific antibodies against liver sinusoidal cells circulate in primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC). Various non disease specific antibodies were also found in PBC and chronic hepatitis B but not in other chronic liver diseases.
