Abstract
A tissue antigen reactive with sera from SLE patients has been partially characterized. The antigen is a soluble cytoplasmic component which is present in a variety of human tissues and is distinct from known nuclear antigens. It is an acidic macromolecule which has the electrophoretic mobility of an
1 globulin and is resistant to most proteolytic enzymes including trypsin, pepsin and chymotrypsin. Antigenicity is destroyed by 0.02 M periodate and by 0.001 M parahydroxy mercuribenzoate. Antibodies to this antigen have been found in 40% of unselected LE sera and were absent from a large number of sera from normal persons and from the sera of patients with other connective tissue disorders.
