Detection of dsDNA autoantibodies in mouse sera was performed as described (19 (link)). In Short: 0.01% Poly-L-lysine (Sigma-Alderich) were used to precoat MaxiSorp plates (Nunc). After 2 h at RT, plates were coated with dsDNA from calf thymus (20µg/ml; Sigma-Aldrich) in H20 over night at 4°C. Sera were added in 1/3 serial dilutions starting at 1/20, pooled serum of SLE affected MRL/lpr mice, with a starting dilution of 1/250, served as standard. Goat-anti-mouse IgG (1 mg/ml) coupled to AP was used for detection.
