DNA vaccination generates strong cellular and humoral immunity in animal models. The mechanisms by which plasmid DNA uptake and expression after intramuscular injection lead to immune responses are not well understood. In particular, the importance of antigen expression levels on subsequent antibody
## Abstract The course of 81 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who had sera tested for antibody to extractable nuclear antigen (ENA) was studied to determine the effect of the presence of antiENA antibody on survivorship. There were no differences in percent survival between the pati
Sera (n = 90) giving positive results in a screening test for antibodies to extractable nuclear antigens (ENAs) were tested in a line immunoblot assay that measures antibody reactivity with individual ENAs in a single test field. Results were then compared to those obtained in monospecific ENA antib
