Protocol
dsDNA elisa test is an Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay to detect antibodies to dsDNA antigen. Purified dsDNA antigen is attached to the wells. When antigens bound to the solid phase are brought into contact with a patient serum, antigen specific antibody, if present, will bind to the antigen in the wells forming antigen-antibody complexes. Excess antibody is removed by washing and followed by the addition of goat anti-human IgG, M conjugated with horseradish peroxidase which then binds to the antibody-antigen complexes.

Autoimmune diseases are categorized into two general groups: One group is characterized by the production of tissue-specific autoantibodies, the other by autoimmune reactivity with normal cell nuclear and/or cytoplasmic antigens with no tissue type specificity. The latter group includes diseases such as mixed connective tissue disease, scleroderma, rheumatoid arthritis, dermatomyositis, polymyositis, SLE and Sjogren syndrome.
