Nuclear deposits of immunoglobulins in skin of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. 1977

S Shu, and T Provost, and M B Croxdale, and M Reichlin, and E H Beutner

Skin nuclear speckled IgG deposition was noted in seven patients. The patients' clinical courses satisfied at least four of the preliminary criteria of the American Rheumatism Association for the diagnosis of systemic lupus erthematosus (SLE). Examination of approximately 700 additional biopsies from patiets with SLE, connective tissue and various skin diseases as well as normal individuals, failed to demonstrate similar nuclear immunoglobulin deposition. Sera from these seven patients had higher titre, complement fixing anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA) of IgG class which produced a speckled nuclear fluorescent pattern. In addition, the sera of all seven patients demonstrated by gel double diffusion precipitating antibodies against nuclear ribonucleoprotein (RNP) or Sm antigens.

D008180 Lupus Erythematosus, Systemic A chronic, relapsing, inflammatory, and often febrile multisystemic disorder of connective tissue, characterized principally by involvement of the skin, joints, kidneys, and serosal membranes. It is of unknown etiology, but is thought to represent a failure of the regulatory mechanisms of the autoimmune system. The disease is marked by a wide range of system dysfunctions, an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and the formation of LE cells in the blood or bone marrow.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D002467 Cell Nucleus Within a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-limited body which contains chromosomes and one or more nucleoli (CELL NUCLEOLUS). The nuclear membrane consists of a double unit-type membrane which is perforated by a number of pores; the outermost membrane is continuous with the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. A cell may contain more than one nucleus. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed) Cell Nuclei,Nuclei, Cell,Nucleus, Cell

D000974 Antibodies, Antinuclear Autoantibodies directed against various nuclear antigens including DNA, RNA, histones, acidic nuclear proteins, or complexes of these molecular elements. Antinuclear antibodies are found in systemic autoimmune diseases including systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjogren's syndrome, scleroderma, polymyositis, and mixed connective tissue disease.
