AB  - This work was done in order to investigate the previously reported antinuclear 
      property of lysozyme (LZM). Addition of human or hen egg white lysozyme (hLZM or 
      eLZM) to normal serum and to 11 sera with different types of antinuclear factors 
      (ANF) produced no consistent changes in ANF titre or type. Likewise, absorption 
      of LZM from the sera with bentonite failed to influence ANF titre and, finally, 
      hLZM and eLZM were incapable of binding native DNA (nDNA). Elevated serum 
      lysozyme levels in rheumatic diseases are therefore unlikely to produce 
      false-positive results in tests for antinuclear antibodies.
