Presence of antilamin antibodies in sera of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus.
In this study, we characterized specifically-stained sera from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) which had been shown to display the homogeneous or peripheral region of nuclei by indirect immunofluorescence (IIF). By western blotting, we demonstrated that in some cases there was a correlation between the peripheral or homogenous. IIF staining of nuclei by sera from patients with SLE and the presence of autoantibodies to lamins. Here we first report the presence of 2.2% anti-lamin autoantibodies in the sera among the 174 patients with SLE in China.
