Clinical Significance. Actin is the major antigen to which smooth muscle antibodies react in autoimmune hepatitis. F-Actin IgG antibodies are found in 52-85% of patients with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) or chronic active hepatitis and in 22% of patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC).ctin antibodies are found in approximately 75% of patients with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) type 1, approximately 65% of patients with autoimmune cholangitis, approximately 30% of patients with primary biliary cirrhosis, and approximately 2% of healthy people. High values are closely correlated with AIH type 1.
