What does serum ACE and anti nuclear antibody antibodies measure?

[klicker]

The consultant neuro-opthamologist investigating my enlarged pupil is asking for serum ACE and anti nuclear antibody antibodies. Can anyone suggest what this is looking for?

Thank you. This is very helpful.Interesting that the neuro-opthalmologist thinks perhaps autoimmune connection but GP doesnt seem to think immune problem.Kind regards.
