**SSB Antibodies**
SSB antibodies are autoantibodies directed against the Sjögren’s Syndrome type B (SSB) antigen, also known as La protein. These antibodies are commonly associated with autoimmune conditions such as Sjögren’s syndrome and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The presence of SSB antibodies is often used as a diagnostic marker to help identify and manage these diseases. Understanding SSB antibodies and their role in autoimmunity is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
