Systemic lupus erythematosus is associated with the presence of autoantibodies which bind several ribonucleoproteins, including Ro (or SS-A). We have explored the relationship of the HLA-DQ and T cell receptor alleles in patients producing autoantibodies binding the 13-kD carboxyl terminus fragment of the 60-kD Ro and with autoantibodies binding a peptide epitope within this fragment (amino acid residues 480-494). Antibodies binding the 13-kD fragment are more likely to be found in the sera of patients with particular DQA1 and DQB1 alleles, while antibodies binding the epitope at 480-494 are found almost exclusively in the sera of patients with a Bg/II 9.8-kb polymorphism of the T cell receptor beta gene. Meanwhile, in these same patient sera the level of autoantibodies binding the complete 60-kD Ro particle is associated with a distinct pattern of alleles at these same immunoregulatory loci. These data demonstrate that component parts of autoantibody responses may be under genetic control which can be distinguished from the HLA associations characteristic of the response to the intact, complete autoantigen.

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.

D011110 Polymorphism, Genetic The regular and simultaneous occurrence in a single interbreeding population of two or more discontinuous genotypes. The concept includes differences in genotypes ranging in size from a single nucleotide site (POLYMORPHISM, SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE) to large nucleotide sequences visible at a chromosomal level.

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.
