title: [Characteristic parameters of the population of circulating DNA in cases of disseminated lupus erythematosus ].
abstract: Important quantities of circulating DNA (up to congruent to 50 micrograms/ml) have been shown to be present in the sera of patients with serious systemic lupus erythematosus. This DNA is double-stranded, as demonstrated by colorimetric, enzymatic and biophysic tests. The circulating DNA population is made up of a main fraction at 250 base pairs and a heterogeneous tail up to 300 bases pairs, as demonstrated by electrophoretic measures on polyacrylamide gel. After hydrolysis in limited conditions with DNAse I and 32P labelling, the repartition of autoradiographed material confirms the reality of a main peak and of a more dispersed tail.
