Description

Histones are small nuclear proteins that together with dsDNA, represent a nucleosome, the structural unit of chromatin. Anti-histone antibodies are associated with various autoimmune diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren's syndrome, systemic sclerosis, infectious diseases (including HIV), and some neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and dementia. Nearly all patients with drug-induced SLE have anti-histone antibodies, but they are also present in patients with idiopathic forms of the disease. One study showed a correlation between SLE with positive anti-dsDNA, anti-nucleosome and anti-histone antibodies and renal disease, including proliferative glomerulonephritis.
