Selected

antinuclear antibody (ANA) (staining) patterns

Your initial assumption is correct, and "MUS" most probably stands for "Muster", hence "Muster antinukleärer Antikörper". "Gesprenk" is short for "gesprenkelt" (speckled).

See, for instance,

In your specific lab work example, spelling it out would give "ANA-Muster", i.e. ANA pattern.
