Abstract: |
The present invention provides a method of diagnosing ulcerative colitis (UC) in a subject suspected of having inflammatory bowel disease by by obtaining a sample from the individual; contacting the sample with human histone H1, or pANCA-reactive fragment thereof, under conditions suitable to form a complex of human histone H1, or pANCA-reactive fragment thereof, and antibody to human histone H1; and detecting the presence or absence of the complex, where the presence of the complex indicates that the individual has UC. The invention also provides related methods of diagnosing a perinuclear anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody positive (pANCA-positive) clinical subtype of UC in a patient with UC. In addition, the invention further provides methods of determining susceptibility to UC in an individual. The invention further provides methods of inducing tolerance in a pANCA-positive patient with UC by administering an effective dose of histone H1, or tolerogenic fragment thereof, to the pANCA-positive patient with UC. Compositions of histone H1, or fragment thereof, combined with a tolerogizing molecule also are provided.

First Claim:

We claim:
1. A method of diagnosing ulcerative colitis (UC) in a subject suspected of having inflammatory bowel disease, comprising:
- (a) obtaining a sample from said subject;
- (b) contacting said sample with a substantially purified histone H1 polypeptide having an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOS: 1 to 6, or a modification or fragment thereof having immunological reactivity with pANCA, under conditions suitable to form a complex of said histone H1, or modification or fragment thereof, with antibody to histone H1; and
- (c) detecting the presence or absence of said complex, wherein the presence of said complex indicates that said subject has UC.
