Specificity and immunochemical properties of antibodies to bacterial DNA in sera of normal human subjects and patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

abstract：:Here we describe the presence of IgG antibodies, in the sera of patients presenting with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), that react in Western blots with a 60-kD protein (Mr 60K) from rat hepatic microsomal extracts. Sera from 60 IDDM patients were screened and 31.6% were positive for the Mr 60K band. This...
