Both putatively native(n) commercial calf thymus DNA and 14C labeled human KB DNA contained significant amounts of denatured DNA (dDNA) as determined by methylated albumin-kieselguhr chromatography. The proportion of dDNA in these preparations was sufficient to cause confusion regarding the antigenic specificity of anti-DNA antibody when unfractionated DNA was used in either the counterimmunoelectrophoresis or the Farr assays for anti-DNA antibody. Serum from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus contained both anti-nDNA and anti-dDNA antibodies. About 50% of patients with symptomatic procainamide-induced lupus (PLE) exhibited anti-dDNA; none had anti-nDNA. Procainamide treated patients with a positive ANF who did not have symptomatic PLE had neither anti-dDNA nor anti-nDNA.
