Sera of patients with different types of leukemia and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) have been examined for the presence of the anti-DNA antibodies. DNA-hydrolyzing activity of antibodies was detected in the sera of patients with chronic lymphoid leukemia (CLL), pre-B-cell acute lymphoid leukemia (pre-B-All), acute myeloleukosis (AML), and AIDS in stages III and IV of the disease. In immunofluorescence tests, the DNA-hydrolyzing antibodies reacted preferentially with proliferating cell nuclei compared with resting cells. A 35-kDa factor was identified as the target for the DNA antibodies in the cell nuclei. The DNA-hydrolyzing antibody fraction from the serum of an AIDS patient crossreacted with HIV I virus proteins gp160, gp120, and p65.

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, numerous publications have appeared describing autoimmune pathologies developing after a coronavirus infection, with several papers reporting autoantibody production during the acute period of the disease. Several viral diseases are known to trigger autoimmune processes, and the appearance of catalytic antibodies with DNase activity is one of the earliest markers of several autoimmune pathologies. Therefore, we analyzed whether IgG antibodies from blood plasma of SARS-CoV-2 patients after recovery could bind and hydrolyze DNA.

Though hundreds of thousands of papers are currently being published on HIV/AIDS, only tens of hundreds of them are devoted to the antibodies generated during the disease. Most of these papers discuss antibodies in HIV/AIDS as a diagnostic tool, and some articles describe neutralizing antibodies as a promising treatment. In this paper, we used affinity chromatography and ELISA to isolate natural IgG from the blood of 26 HIV-infected patients.

Objective: Since during pregnancy and lactation women tend to develop autoimmune processes, characterization of placenta immunoglobulins and their possible catalytic functions is a very important step towards understanding the function of placenta.
Methods: ELISA, affinity chromatography, SDS-PAGE and MALDI mass spectrometry were used.
Results: It was shown, that ten placentas contain in average 1.

Correlations between biochemical and immunological markers of programmed cell death (apoptosis), and the functional state of the thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism, euthyroidism, hypothyroidism) have been investigated in autoimmune thyroiditis (AT) (also known as chronic autoimmune thyroiditis). Annexin V, TRAIL and TNF-a, as well as DNA-hydrolyzing antibodies were used as the main markers. Increased levels of TRAIL were found in the serum of AT patients (hyperthyroidism>hypothyroidism>euthyroidism) compared with healthy individuals.

3D8 single-chain Fv (scFv) is a catalytic nucleic acid antibody with anti-viral activity against a broad spectrum of viruses. Here we investigated the functional stability of 3D8 scFv to provide a basis for engineering a 3D8 scFv derivative and for developing stable formulations with improved stability and potential use as an anti-viral agent. The stability of 3D8 scFv was assessed by measuring its DNA-hydrolyzing activity under different biochemical and physical conditions using a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based method.
