A major mitochondrial autoantigen recognized by sera of patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is dihydrolipoamide acetyltransferase (E2) of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDH). The alpha subunit of pyruvate decarboxylase (E1alpha) of PDH is also recognized in some E2-reactive PBC sera, suggesting that the occurrence of autoimmunity against Elalpha is subsequent to that against E2. METHODS. To investigate the mechanism inducing autoimmunity against E1alpha, we surveyed immunoreactive sequences of E1alpha by ELISA with synthesized oligopeptides, and determined minimum amino acid residues for each determinant.
