摘要：

Four murine anti-streptococcal monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that cross-react with human DNA were evaluated by immunofluorescence flow cytometry for their reactivity with condensed and decondensed human sperm nuclei. All 4 anti-DNA mAbs reacted with condensed sperm nuclei. The reactivity of 3 of these mAbs with decondensed sperm nuclei was 13 to 177 times higher than that found with condensed nuclei. Under identical conditions, mAbs to cytoskeletal/cytocontractile proteins lacked reactivity with decondensed sperm nuclei. Binding of monoclonal anti-DNA antibodies to decondensed sperm nuclei was abolished by preincubation with double-stranded DNA. The preferential binding of anti-DNA antibodies to decondensed sperm DNA suggests the utility of decondensed sperm nuclei as the antigenic substrate for screening anti-DNA antibodies by flow cytometry.
