Anti-nucleosome antibody: significance in lupus patients lacking anti-double-stranded DNA antibody.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical significance of anti-nucleosome antibodies in SLE patients lacking anti-double stranded DNA (dsDNA) antibodies. METHODS IgG anti-nucleosome antibodies were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) in the sera of SLE patients. Anti-dsDNA antibodies were measured by Farr assays and ELISA, not only in the samples taken for anti-nucleosome testi...
متن کاملSpectroscopic analysis of the pyrimidine(6-4)pyrimidone photoproduct: insights into the (6-4) photolyase reaction.
We synthesized a dinucleoside monophosphate of the (15)N-labeled (6-4) photoproduct, which is one of the major UV-induced lesions in DNA, to investigate the (6-4) photolyase repair mechanism, and characterized its protonation state by measuring (15)N NMR spectra as a function of pH. We expected that chemical-shift changes of the pyrimidone (15)N3, due to protonation, would be observed at pH 3, ...
متن کاملIdentification and characterization of an intermediate in the alkali degradation of (6-4) photoproduct-containing DNA.
The (6-4) photoproduct formed by ultraviolet light is known as an alkali-labile DNA lesion. Strand breaks occur at (6-4) photoproducts when UV-irradiated DNA is treated with hot alkali. We have analyzed the degradation reaction of this photoproduct under alkaline conditions using synthetic oligonucleotides. A tetramer, d(GT(6-4)TC), was prepared, and its degradation in 50 mm KOH at 60 degrees C...
متن کاملFluorescent antinuclear antibody and anti-double-stranded DNA antibody testing: a four years experience.
Fluorescent antinuclear antibody test (FANA) and anti-double stranded deoxytribonucleic acid (dsDNA) antibody testing is an integral part of the evaluation of the patients who are suspected of having connective tissue disease. We tested 2,140 serum samples for FANA and 1,460 serum samples for anti-dsDNA antibodies. Of 2,140 serum samples tested for FANA, 492 (23%) yielded a positive result (tit...
متن کاملT cell-independent spontaneous loss of tolerance by anti-double-stranded DNA B cells in C57BL/6 mice.
Systemic lupus erythematosus is characterized by loss of tolerance to DNA and other nuclear Ags. To understand the role of T cells in the breaking of tolerance, an anti-DNA site-specific transgenic model of spontaneous lupus, B6x56R, was studied. T cells were eliminated by crossing B6x56R with CD4(-/)(-) or TCRbeta(-/-)delta(-/-) mice, and the effects on anti-dsDNA serum levels, numbers of anti...
