Accurate HEp-2 Cell Classification Based on Sparse Bag of Words Coding

Autoimmune Diseases (AD) arise from abnormal immune responses of the body against normally present substances and tissues in the body where autoantibodies produced by the immune system are directed against one or more of the individual's own proteins (Cotsapas and Hafler, 2013). Early diagnosis of ADs that affect the neuromuscular system, hepatobiliary system, vasculitic syndromes, etc. plays an important role in the AD treatment. Antinuclear Antibody (ANA), a type of autoantibody that binds to contents of the cell nucleus, is generally considered as a hallmark of ADs.
