Assay of Antinuclear Antibodies by ELISA Using Nuclei as Antigen

Abstract

Introduction Enzyme immunoassays have been successfully employed for the quantitation of human autoantibodies of defined specificities using purified antigen adsorbed on a solid matrix (reviewed in I.e. (1)). Some variations of the procedure include the use of nylon beads as the solid support (2--4) instead of a conventional polystyrene surface, and the use of a fluorogenic substrate (5) for the evaluation of enzyme activity. In the present work, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was evaluated as an alternative to the fluorescent antinuclear antibody (FANA) as*) List of antigens nDNA = native DNA UlsnRNP = ... small nuclear ribonucleoprotein Sm = an antigen, named from the initials of the patient who showed corresponding antibodies; a nuclear glycoprotein ANA = antinuclear antibodies RNP = Ribonucleoprotein SS-B/La = an antigen B, characterized by sera of certain patients with Sjögren syndrome (SS) SS-A/Ro = an antigen A, characterized by sera of certain patients with Sjögren syndrome (SS) Scl-70 = an antigen of Mr = 70.000, identified by sera of certain patients suffering from sclefoderma (Sc!)
