Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Sera of children with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and other connective tissue diseases were tested for antibodies to native DNA by a radiolabeled-binding assay. Normal values were obtained in 130 children with JRA, including 28 with uveitis and 14 with selective IgA deficiency. Normal values were also found in sera from children with dermatomyositis, scleroderma, polyarteritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and a variety of other nonconnective tissue diseases. The only sera with elevated DNA-binding assays were from children with systemic lupus erythematosus. On the basis of these data, increased levels of antibodies to native DNA distinguished patients with active SLE from children with JRA.
