Abstract

The antibody to 65 KD mycobacterial heat shock protein (HSP65) and antibody to human superoxide dismutase (H-SOD) were measured by ELISA in patients with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), and results were compared with those of patients with chronic active hepatitis C (CAH-C) or systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and normal subjects (NS). Patients with AIH had significantly higher OD values of anti-HSP65 antibody and anti-H-SOD antibody compared with those of patients with CAH-C or SLE and NS. OD values of anti-HSP65 antibody were correlated with those of anti-SOD antibody. Affinity-purified anti-SOD antibody reacted with HSP65. Analysis of the amino acid sequence of human SOD showed that 7 segments, corresponding to r to 25 amino acid residues, exhibited 50 to 71% homology with that of my mycobacterial HSP65.
