✦ Synopsis


By using the hydroxyethyl crosslinked chitosan beads as the support, a novel immunoadsorbent was prepared by conjugating DNA onto the beads via the CNBr activation. The influence of conditions on the immobilization capacity of DNA was studied in detail. The adsorption experiments were performed by adding the immunoadsorbents to the SLE serum. The results showed that this type of immunoadsorbent could cut down the anti-DNA antibody levels by 65.33% at most in serum. Because the chitosan has good blood compatibility, this type of immunoadsorbent is hopeful for the treatment of SLE by hemoperfusion in the future.

## Abstract The myth persists that only the labor intensive Farr radioimmunoassay and __Crithidia luciliae__ immunofluorescence (CL‐IFA) are systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)‐specific tests. We compared them to ELISA with bacteriophage λ DNA (EL‐dsDNA) and denatured calf thymus DNA (EL‐ssDNA). By

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
