## 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
We examined the effect of DNase treatment of sera with antihistone activity. In non-systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) sera, antihistone levels remained unmodified, but a significant decrease was observed in 7 of 11 SLE sera with anti-DNA antibodies. This was accompanied in some by an increase in an
To examine autoantibodies present in patients with active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), sera, circulating immune comptexes (CIC), and antibodies purified on DNA-immunoadsorbent were tested by enzyme immunoassay. A panel of self-antigens, including DNA, histones (HIS), glomerular basal membrane
