Anybody who wanted to participate in UW vaccine trial had tested positive for ANA (autoimmune disease)? I have tested positive and so it makes me ineligible. I am really wondering what caused it to be positive as I don't have any problems or symptoms of autoimmune disease. Can Herceptin make it to be positive?

thanks for any input.
