label: Anti-multiple nuclear dots antibody positivity
label_lc: anti-multiple nuclear dots antibody positivity
description: "A type of antinuclear antibody (ANA) positivity revealed by indirect immunofluorescence (IFL). The multiple nuclear dots (MND) pattern is immunomorphologically characterized by the staining of 3-20 dots of variable size distributed all over the cell nucleus, but sparing the nucleoli, and, in contrast to the anticentromere pattern, MND reactivity does not stain the chromosomes in mitotic cells."
