AESKULISA® Cardiolipin-A is a solid phase enzyme immunoassay employing highly purified cardiolipin plus native human ß2-glycoprotein I for the quantitative and qualitative detection of IgA antibodies against cardiolipin in human serum. Anti-cardiolipin antibodies mainly recognize specific epitopes on a complex composed out of cardiolipin and ß2-glycoprotein I which are expressed only when ß2-glycoprotein I interacts with cardiolipin. The assay is an aid in the diagnosis and risk estimation of thrombosis in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
A collection of reagents and other associated materials intended to be used for the qualitative and/or quantitative detection of one or multiple classes of antibodies to cardiolipin in a clinical specimen, using an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) method.
