Recently, the in vivo pathogenic role of anti-neutrophil cytoplasm autoantibodies (ANCA) in ANCA-associated vasculitis has been challenged by Abdel-Salam et al. In their report, they observed that ANCA directed against proteinase 3 (PR3) cannot bind to their target autoantigen PR3 on circulating neutrophils (PMN). Here we present evidence that human PR3-ANCA do specifically bind to PMN that express PR3 on their membrane.
