AESKULISA® ASCA-A is a solid phase enzyme immunoassay (ELISA) employing highly purified mannan for the quantitative and qualitative detection of IgA anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae antibodies (ASCA) in human serum. ASCA recognize specifically mannan, a component of the outer cell wall of yeast. The assay is highly specific and sensitive for Crohn`s disease.
A collection of reagents and other associated materials intended to be used for the qualitative and/or quantitative detection of immunoglobulin A (IgA) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies to the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae in a clinical specimen, using an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) method.
