Increased serum MBP autoantigen reactivity in morphea cases compared to controls. A Detection of serum MBP autoantigen reactivity by antigen array (net fluorescence intensities, NFI) for morphea cases (Mor), healthy controls (HC) and disease (scleroderma) controls (SSc). B Percentage of morphea cases, healthy controls, and disease (scleroderma) controls patients that harbor MBP-positive autoantibodies by antigen array. An individual was considered to be positive for MBP autoantibodies in the respective value was higher than the sum: healthy control mean + 2(standard error). P values < 0.05 were considered to be statistically significant
