Abstract
An indirect form of protein-A ELISA (PAI-ELISA) was optimized and, whe n used to detect anti-Smith antibodies in sera of 31 systemic lupus er ythematosus (SLE) patients, gave results comparable with those using a commercial immunodiffusion kit. The number of sera found to be positi ve for anti-Smith antibodies by ELISA was seven, four of which were al so found positive by immunodiffusion.
