摘要
We determined the discriminative value of the Farr assay in comparison to ELISA and Crithidia luciliae immunofluorescence assay (IFT) for detecting anti-dsDNA antibodies as a diagnostic tool for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Special attention was paid to the diagnostic significance of IgM-class anti-dsDNA. Sera were analyzed from 74 patients with SLE, 257 patients with other auto-immune diseases, and 50 healthy controls. All sera were tested for anti-dsDNA using the IFT (anti-total immunoglobulin conjugate), ELISA (anti-IgG and anti-IgM conjugates), and the I-125 Farr assay. Specificity and sensitivity for a diagnosis of SLE appeared to be highest for the Farr. All SLE sera with IgM-class anti-dsDNA without IgG-class anti-dsDNA as detected by ELISA, were positive when tested by the Farr assay. In contrast, most of the sera with IgM-class anti-dsDNA as detected by ELISA from patients with diseases other than SLE were negative when tested by Farr assay.
