Anti-topoisomerase I autoantibodies (anti-topo I, anti-Scl-70) are associated with proximal scleroderma and are of prognostic significance in patients with Raynaud's disease. To establish a highly sensitive and specific system for the detection of anti-topo I, we have investigated sera from 409 patients and controls by Ouchterlony gel diffusion, Western immunoblot on chromosome proteins, and solid-phase enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with purified topoisomerase I as antigen. The ELISA was more sensitive than the gel diffusion technique and was more specific than the Western immunoblot, while the immunoblot may identify additional autoantibodies.

D004264 DNA Topoisomerases, Type I DNA TOPOISOMERASES that catalyze ATP-independent breakage of one of the two strands of DNA, passage of the unbroken strand through the break, and rejoining of the broken strand. DNA Topoisomerases, Type I enzymes reduce the topological stress in the DNA structure by relaxing the superhelical turns and knotted rings in the DNA helix.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.
