ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for testing for particular antibodies in the serum of a patient. The antibodies may be those of systemic lupus erythematosus and may constitute IgG and IgM immunoglobulins. The IgG and IgM immunoglobulin may be individually labeled radioactively.
An antigen (such as DNA) may be attached to a support such as sepharose. The attachment may be facilitated as by irradiation with ultraviolet light. The DNA may be single stranded or double stranded. When double-stranded DNA is used, single-stranded portions in the double strands may be removed as by a suitable enzyme.
The particular antibodies may be attached to the antigen such as the supported DNA. An assay may then be provided to determine the attachment of the particular antibodies to the supported DNA. When the particular antibodies constitute immunoglobins of systemic lupus erythematosus, the assay may actually provide a determination of the amounts of the IgG and IgM immunoglobulins individually attached to the single-stranded and double-stranded DNA.
