title: [Methods for the detection of antibodies to native (double stranded) DNA (author's transl)].
abstract: Three different methods adequate for routine work, i.e. hemagglutination, counterimmunoelectrophoresis and radioimmunoassay, were used in the past in our laboratory to detect antibodies to native (double stranded) DNA. There was a high incidence of false positive or false negative results by counterimmunoelectrophoresis. Hemagglutination reaction was less sensitive in detecting anti-nDNA than was radioimmunoassay. Natural DNA preparations and a synthetic polynucleotide (3H-dAT) were used as antigenic substrates in radioimmunoassay providing well correlating binding values.
