AESKULISA ANA-HEp-2 is a solid phase enzyme immunoassay for the combined qualitative detection of IgG antibodies against HEp2 cells in human serum. Each well is coated with lysed HEp2 cells. The test collectively detects, in one well, total ANAs against double stranded DNA (dsDNA), histones, SS-A (Ro), SS-B (La), Sm, snRNP/Sm, Scl-70, PM-Scl, Jo-1 and centromeric antigens along with sera positive for HEp2 immunofluorescence test (IFT). The assay is a tool in the diagnosis of systemic rheumatic diseases like systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), mixed connective tissue diseases (MCTD), scleroderma, Sjögren`s syndrome, polymyositis and dermatomyositis.
A collection of reagents and other associated materials intended to be used for the qualitative and/or quantitative detection for multiple types of antinuclear antibodies (ANA) in a clinical specimen, using an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) method.
