Recently, a new radioimmunoassay-the polyethylene glycol (PEG) assay-was introduced to measure antibodies to double-stranded (ds) DNA. In this method, polyethylene glycol precipitation of formed 3H-DNMantiDNA complexes is used instead of the ammonium sulfate precipitation used in the Farr assay. In
An anti-double-stranded (ds) DNA antibodies in serum-detection system was developed based on flow immunoassay with packed-capillary column. Alkaline phosphatase conjugated DNA (ALP-DNA) and anti-dsDNA antibody were separated from unreacted ALP-DNA on the basis of the difference in isoelectric point.
We describe a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus who, after a disease flare, sequentially produced antibodies to specific Sm polypeptides (demonstrated by counterimmunoelectrophoresis, immunoblotting, and RNA immunoprecipitation) concomitantly with the disappearance of anti-double-stranded DN
