Research Abstract |
Although recently identified dermatomyositis-associated autoantibodies are very useful in clinics,they can be identified by a very minor population of laboratory. Moreover, immunoprecipitation methods used in the laboratories cannot produce results in a short time. We have developed technically easy experimental methods using in vitro translation and transcription system to detect autoantibodies; the preparation of plasmids harboring cDNA in interest->expression of biotinylated recombinant protein by a commercial kit->captured ELISA with streptavidin-coated plates. This is an epoch-making method which can be constructed for approximate one week after getting a cDNA inserted into a vector with T7 promotor.
