A member asked:
American heart association medical journal just posted an article - small research study states that they have found new autoantibodys that are specific 2 pots patients, :) more research being done :)?

Yes: There have been scattered reports, mostly from eastern europe, over the past 15 years about such autoantibodies. While i remain skeptical of reports such as these -- for other disease they've often led nowhere -- they're interesting and other labs are sure to pick this up.
