Antinuclear antibodies are of major importance in the diagnosis of inflammatory rheumatic diseases. Sm and nRNP antibodies can be found in sera from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and mixed connective tissue disease. Usually, these antibodies have been detected with one of the following methods: Ouchterlony immunodiffusion, passive hemagglutination or counterimmunoelectrophoresis (CIE). In this work results obtained by Ouchterlony and CIE techniques were compared with those obtained by ELISA. Purified proteins from cellular extracts (HeLa) were used as antigens for Sm- and nRNP-ELISA: D polypeptide for Sm-ELISA and the 68 kD, A, C, B,B' and D polypeptides for nRNP-ELISA. Compared with the other two techniques, ELISA was less time consuming and showed greater sensitivity. Quantitative titration proved to be of advantage in monitoring the course of the diseases mentioned above.
