Type I topoisomerases cut only one strand of DNA; type I topoisomerase of E. coli > E. coli (omega protein) relaxes negatively supercoiled DNA and does not act on positively supercoiled DNA. Type II topoisomerases cut both strands of DNA; type II topoisomerase of E. coli (DNA gyrase) increases the degree of negative supercoiling in DNA and requires ATP. It is inhibited by several antibiotics, including nalidixic acid and ovobiocin.
Antibodies generated against the nuclear constituents are known as antinuclear antibodies (ANA). This includes autoantibodies directed against the extractable (soluble in physiological buffers) nuclear antigen or ENA. The most prominent of ANAs/ENAs are autoantibodies which binds to ds-DNA, ss-DNA, histones, ribonucleoproteins (RNP) and the SS-A, SS-B, Sm antigens, Jo-1, and Scl-70. Two antibodies, anti-dsDNA and anti-Sm, appear to occur only in SLE. Others occur in a variety of autoimmune and mixed connective tissue diseases.
Antibody to Scl-70 antigen was originally called Scl-1. Anti-Scl-70 has been shown to react with a cellular antigen known as DNA topoisomerase I, which is responsible for the relaxation of supercoiled DNA. Anti-Scl-70 is found in ~75% patients with the diffuse progressive form of scleroderma. The presence of anti-Scl-70 seems to exclude the presence of anti-centromere antibody, which is a marker for a subset of patients with scleroderma known as CREST (calcinosis, sclerodactyly, and telangiectasia) syndrome.
The frequency of ANA-positives in various rheumatic diseases has been reported for SLE, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), progressive systemic sclerosis (PSS), polymyositis (PM), dermatomyositis (DM), mixed connective tissue diseases, drug-induced SLE, and Sjogren's syndrome (SS). Most of these studies are based on tedious fluorescent ANA (FANA). Other techniques such as RIA, immunodiffusion, hemagglutination, electrophoresis and immunoblotting are also used to define antibody specificity. Recently, immunological assays (mostly ELISA) that determine the specificity of ANA have been used in studying patients with systemic rheumatic diseases.

Product Notes
The Top1 (Catalog #AAA627840) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Topoisomerase I, DNA (Scl-70) reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Topoisomerase I, DNA can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). Suitable for use in Western Blot. Dilution: Western Blot: 1:1000-1:2500. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the Top1 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Topoisomerase I, DNA, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
