title: An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for autoantibodies against the nuclear protein Scl-70.
abstract: This paper describes the development of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection and quantitation of autoantibodies against the nuclear protein Scl-70. The isolation of Scl-70 from rat livers and the conditions for the ELISA are described. Compared with the already established double diffusion in gel for detection of anti-Scl-70 antibodies this ELISA has advantages.
