Abstract

DNA diagnostics is rapidly developing and gaining ground especially in the identification of genetic, malignant and infectious diseases as well as in the identification of individuals by means of DNA finger-printing. Present review deals with these and with the technical aspects of DNA diagnostics. The rapidly expanding field of diagnostics is contrasted by gene therapy which is recently not yet adaptable for human use.

[Deforming arthropathy associated with the presence of anti Jo-1 antibody in polymyositis. A new case].

A deforming arthropathy confined to the hands developed in a woman with polymyositis of three year's duration. Roentgenograms showed distal subluxations of several fingers, especially the thumb, asymmetrical marginal erosions of the phalanges and periarticular calcifications. These roentgenographic findings are considered to be specific of polymyositis associated with anti-Jo-1 antibody.

Characterization of antibodies against methyl-pppN cap structure: plant U3 small nucleolar RNA is recognized by these antibodies.

In eukaryotes, many small nuclear RNAs contain either a trimethylguanosine cap structure of a gamma-monomethyl (me) cap structure. Previously, we reported the characterization of anti-mepppG antibodies which recognize methyl-capped RNAs with G as the initiation nucleotide. We report here the preparation of antibodies against mepppN cap structure. Anti-mepppN antibodies recognized only mepppN from a mixture of mepppN and pppN and immunoprecipitated mepppA-capped U3 small nucleolar RNA from a mixture of cowpea cell RNAs. These anti-mepppN antibodies recognized methylated nucleoside triphosphates (mepppA, mepppC, mepppG and mepppU) with nearly equal efficiency; however, these antibodies did not recognize methyl phosphate or methylated mononucleotides. These antibodies will be useful in the identification and characterization of all methyl-capped RNAs no matter which is the initiation nucleotide.
