An immunodominant epitope on DNA topoisomerase I is conformational in nature: heterogeneity in its recognition by systemic sclerosis sera.
description:
The epitope conjugated to BSA or KLH did not compete with a recombinant topo I protein for binding by sera from SSc patients. Similar results were observed in direct ELISA. Cys and tyr residues were added to the N-terminus to facilitate conjugation.
