A 47-year-old woman presents to the clinic complaining of bilateral eye pain for the past 2 days. The pain is described initially as “sand in the eye” but is now a sharp, stabbing pain. She denies any trauma, irritation, or new facial care products but endorses some joint pain in her fingers. Her past medical history includes diabetes diagnosed 5 years ago. A physical examination demonstrates some swelling of the cheeks bilaterally. A slit lamp examination with fluorescein stain shows a yellow-green lesion. What is the most specific antibody that characterizes this disease?
