الملخص
SLE is a heterogeneous disease, characterized by variation in clinical and serological manifestations. This
study intended to verify the role of anti-nucleosome (anti-NCS) antibodies in diagnosis of SLE and lupus
nephritis and to establish the correlation between antibody reactivity and disease activity. Study subjects
included 35 patients diagnosed as SLE and two control groups. While the first is a group with other collagen
diseases (n=80), the second included 50 matched apparently healthy subjects. Serum IgG anti-NCS
antibodies in all subjects were detected by ELISA. Serum anti-NCS were higher in SLE than in the two control
groups (P
