Abstract excerpt
The molecular mechanisms leading to anti-double-stranded (ds) DNA antibody production in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are poorly understood. We describe here the immunoglobulin variable region genes of six human hybridomas secreting IgG anti-dsDNA antibodies derived from three SLE patients. The monoclonal IgG anti-dsDNA antibodies have been shown to be of high affinity and no multireactivity was observed...
