The ZEUS AtheNA Multi-Lyte® Autoimmune Vasculitis (AIV) Plus Test System is intended for the qualitative and semi-quantitative detection of IgG class antibody to three separate antigens; Glomerular Basement Membrane (GBM), Myeloperoxidase (MPO) and Proteinase 3(PR-3) in human serum. The test system is intended to be used as an aid in the diagnosis of various autoimmune vasculitic disorders characterized by elevated levels of selected autoantibodies. MPO and/or PR-3 may be associated with autoimmune disorders such as Wegener’s Granulomatosis, ICGN, MPA and PRS. Anti-GBM antibodies aid in the diagnosis of Goodpasture’s syndrome. This test is for In Vitro diagnostic use only.
A collection of reagents and other associated materials intended to be used for the qualitative and/or quantitative screening for one or multiple antibodies associated with vasculitis in a clinical specimen, using a multiplex method. The assayed antibodies may include autoimmune antibodies directed at the glomerular basement membrane (GBM), anti-neutrophil cytoplamic antibodies to myeloperoxidase (ANCA MPO) and/or anti-neutrophil cytoplamic antibodies to proteinase-3 (PR3).
