Abstract
There are five histones for packaging DNA: four make a bobbin and the fifth a cleat. Autoantibodies recognising histones are amongst the most abundant in health and disease. They tend to arise with ageing and chronic infection, and as a response to therapy with various drugs. They may occur in rheumathoid arthritis and juvenile chronic arthritis. Titres are almost invariably high in drug induced lupus, and antihistone antibodies are particularly common in systemic lupus erythematosus and autoimmune chronic active (lupoid) hepatitis; they are probably responsible for the LE cell phenomenon.
