A Possible Link between Infection with Burkholderia Bacteria and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Based on Epitope Mimicry
Figure 6
Testing 4 affinity purified human IgG anti-dsDNA antibodies in binding to the synthetic
peptide in ELISA. ELISA plates
were coated with synthetic peptide (100 g/mL). Lanes 1–4 contain purified
anti-dsDNA antibodies (1 g/100 L) binding to
synthetic peptide and lane 5 has CF II as control binding to synthetic
peptide. Antihuman IgG Fc fragment specific alkaline phosphatase conjugate was used to detect
anti-dsDNA antibody binding. The data were expressed as the mean ± SD.
