AESKULISA Jo-1 is a solid phase enzyme immunoassay with recombinant human histidyltRNA-synthetase (HRS) for the quantitative and qualitative detection of antibodies against Jo-1 (named after the prototype patient) in human serum. Human sera with anti-Jo-1 antibodies solely recognize HRS of higher eukaryotes and react with highest affinity with the human enzyme. The assay is a tool in the diagnosis of polymyositis and dermatomyositis.
A collection of reagents and other associated materials intended to be used for the qualitative and/or quantitative detection of anti-Jo-1 antibodies in a clinical specimen, using an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) method.
