چکیده
Double-stranded anti-DNA antibodies are excellent diagnostic markers and follow-up markers for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Less specific than anti-Sm antibodies, anti-PCNA antibodies or anti-ribosomal P antibodies, they are nevertheless much more common. Their sensitivity and specificity for SLE gives them diagnostic value as they are part of the criteria used by the American Rheumatism Association for the diagnosis of this disease

Prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii Antibodies and DNA in Iranian HIV Patients
Background & Objective: Toxoplasma gondii infection has public health importance and can lead to serious diseases in immunosuppressed patients, such as HIV cases. Appropriate control of T. gondii infection in HIV patients requires information about the prevalence of T. gondii antibodies and DNA in different population. In this study, we aimed to determine the prevalence of Toxo...
متن کاملDetection of Antibodies Against DNA Polymerase of Hepatitis B Virus in HBsAg-Positive Sera Using ELISA
OBJECTIVES DNA polymerase (pol) of Hepatitis B virus (HBV) includes 3 different domains such as terminal protein (TP), reverse transcriptase (RT) and RNase H. Humoral immune responses to each of these proteins have not been well documented previously, although antibody to pol was detected in serum of patients with chronic hepatitis B. We have constructed TP (amino acids 1-182), RT (amino acids ...
متن کاملAnti-histones antibodies in systemic lupus erythematosus: prevalence and frequency in neuropsychiatric lupus.
To investigate the specificity, sensitivity, and concomitant presence of antibodies against histones (H), histone H1 (H1), and histone H3 (H3) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and analyze their association with SLE. Serum IgG anti-histones antibodies were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in 144 SLE patients consisting of 24 neuropsychiatric lupus (NPSLE), 65 lupu...
متن کاملCytoplasmic to nuclear translocation of RNA polymerase I is required for lipopolysaccharide-induced nucleolar RNA synthesis and subsequent DNA synthesis in murine B lymphocytes.
The synthesis of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) in murine B lymphocytes is markedly elevated in response to mitogens such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS). First, to investigate the mechanism involved, antibodies directed against RNA polymerase I, the enzyme responsible for transcription of ribosomal genes, were introduced into the cytoplasm of lymphocytes via red cell-mediated microinjection and the ability ...
متن کاملSignificance of Hepatitis B Core Antibody as the Only Marker of Hepatitis B Virus Infection in High Risk Patients
Background and Objective: Presence of hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc) in the absence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs) is defined, as isolated anti-HBc. little is known about the clinical significance of the isolated anti-HBc in hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections. The aim of this study was to assess the significance of anti-HBc as the onl...
