## Abstract To further clarify the clinical significance of nDNA antibodies in systemic lupus erythematosus, 70 patients were studied longitudinally over an average period of 3 years each. Serum hemolytic complement (CH50) and nDNA antibodies measured by antigen binding and complement fixation were
A 96-well microplate ELISA for the detec-native E. coli DNA, calf thymus DNA, and tion of antibodies to DNA is described. A heat-denatured DNA. Using native E. coli number of buffers and precoating treat-DNA, virtually none of 35 normal sera had ments were used to evaluate the optimal any detectable
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
