Two common cross-reacting anti-DNA antibody idiotypes designated 1616 and 32/15, previously identified in the serum of patients who have systemic lupus erythematosus, were found in 24% and 7%, respectively, of 147 first-degree relatives. These findings imply that high-frequency germ-line genes exist
## Abstract Twentyβone sera from 11 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus were titrated with ^125^Iβssβcalf thymus DNA to determine their maximum capacity to bind DNA. Only five sera were capable of binding > 90% of the input DNA. The remaining sixteen sera showed maximum DNA binding levels be
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is regarded as a classical autoimmune disease. Despite this belief, no one has been able to induce the disease in naive animals, neither with DNA nor with anti-DNA antibodies. We report on the induction of SLE in BALB/c mice following immunization with a pathogenic
