Serological findings in patients with "ANA-negative" systemic lupus erythematosus

Medicine

Abstract

Serological studies were performed on sera from 66 patients with the clinical picture of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). These sera failed to give a positive antinuclear antibody test when tested on cryostat sections of mouse liver and thus these patients' sera appear to be ANA negative. Precipitating antibodies to the cytoplasmic antigen Ro were found in 41 cases and of the remaining 25 sera, 18 were found to have antibodies to single stranded DNA detectable by radioimmunoassay. Thus, 50 of the 66 patients exhibited serological findings which are commonly found in ANA positive SLE patients. Studies with KB cells as immunofluorescent substrate revealed that 66% of these sera were positive for nuclear staining demonstrating that at least part of the failure of these sera to stain mouse liver is due to antigenic deficiency of this substrate. The clinical picture of these patients was dominated by a severe photosensitive dermatitis but more than half of the patients had widespread multisystem disease. As a group these patients had a low frequency of nephritis and neuropsychiatric disease. Detection of these antibodies relates these patients serologically to other SLE patients and suggests that they are best perceived as part o...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
