title: [Change of incidence of antinuclear antibodies in serum of NOD mouse with aging].
abstract: Extractable nuclear antigens (ENA) were prepared from liver of C57BL/6J mouse and analyzed by SDS PAGE Western-immunoblotting techniques. Some protein components of the ENA, with molecular weights of 94 K, 65 K, 32 K, and 26 K, reacted with antinuclear antibodies in the sera of NOD mice. Incidence of antinuclear antibodies in the sera of NOD mice with aging were measured by ELISA method using the ENA as antigen. The antinuclear antibodies were not detected in young NOD mice (10 weeks old). However, the incidence increased with aging and reached 100% in the female NOD mice of 40 weeks. In the male NOD mice, the incidence of antinuclear antibodies was delayed and low in comparison with that in female.
