What is an Anti-U1-Ribonucleoprotein (RNP) Test?

RNP, or anti-ribonucleoprotein, is a type of autoantibody. These antibodies are produced by the immune system in people with autoimmune disorders and attack the body's own cells and tissues.

Anti-U1RNP antibody (anti-U1RNP) is a serological marker for mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) [4, but it can also be found in patients with definite SSC or systemic lupus erythematosus] (SLE).
